Article Synopsis
- Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes), a bacteria usually linked to late postoperative infections, has been found to cause early surgical site infections (SSI) after a change in antibiotic protocols at a hospital.
- A study reviewed patient data from 2007 to 2017, comparing the incidence of early C. acnes SSI across three different antibiotic treatment protocols.
- Results showed that the incidence of C. acnes infections increased from 0% to 4.9% with the new protocol but decreased to 1.7% after reverting to a longer antibiotic treatment, suggesting that prolonged antibiotic use helps prevent these infections.
Background: Esophageal repair after caustic injury is a surgical challenge in children. The aim of this study was to report the first results of a total laparoscopic approach in transhiatal esophagectomy and esophageal replacement by an anisoperistaltic gastric tube.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective review of data from children operated on with a laparoscopic approach for transhiatal esophagectomy and Gavriliu's esophagoplasty between 2011 and 2015 was performed.
Purpose: Thoracoscopic lung resection for congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) is a safe technique for children. Our purpose was to evaluate the feasibility of a fast-track protocol in such cases.
Methods: From September 2007 to May 2016, 101 patients underwent a thoracoscopic pulmonary resection of which 83 for CPAM (lobectomy, wedge resection or sequestrectomy).
Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a concern in pediatric spine surgery with unusually high rates for a clean surgery and especially for patients with deformity of nonidiopathic etiology. Microbiologic differences between etiologies of spine deformities have been poorly investigated.
Methods: We reviewed all cases of SSI in spinal surgery between 2007 and 2011.
