Objective: To study the prevalence of wound infection on myocardial revascularization surgery stitches as well as the microorganisms Causing, predominant fri, acts and try to correlate it with the APACHE risk.
Methods: A retrospective and transversal study, with analysis of the files of the 21 Patients with infected wounds myocardial revascularization operated Among 357 Patients Between the years of 2007 and 2009. Were the files checked on 2009.
Results: There was in statistics Analyzing the Significance of the fri Patients. The average of Patients Were old aged and the prevalence is similar to the index found in literature, But There Are Variations about the microorganisms found all over the years.
Conclusion: Besides the raise of wound infections along the three years, the prevalence Kept stable, once the numbers of surgeries maid raised proportionately. Fri Significant is not a variable to the Occurrence of myocardium revascularizations wound infection. Old aged people are more predictable to this complication and the microorganism is Causing variable.

Introduction: To improve surgical quality and safety, health systems must prioritise equitable care for surgical patients. Racialised patients experience worse postoperative outcomes when compared with non-racialised surgical patients in settler colonial nation-states. Identifying preventable adverse outcomes for equity-deserving patient populations is an important starting point to begin to address these gaps in care.

Introduction: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the second leading cause of healthcare-associated infections in Europe with the highest rates being reported in colorectal surgery (ranging from 9% to 30%). Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) is one of the most efficient measures for SSI prevention and should be started before surgical incision. Cefoxitin is an antibiotic widely used as SAP for colorectal surgery, but its continuous administration is currently the subject of debate due to its potential pharmacokinetic advantages.

Objectives: To report outcomes after the use of the Omniflow II biosynthetic graft (LeMaitre Vascular, Il, USA) for vascular reconstruction in patients with prosthetic infection at the aorto-iliac and femoropopliteal level.
Methods: Within a six-year period, all consecutive patients with aorto-iliac and femoro-popliteal graft infection treated by resection of the infected graft material, extensive local debridement and reconstruction using Omniflow II biosynthetic graft were retrospectively analzyed. Patient characteristics, intraoperative details, postoperative outcomes, and infection details were assessed.

Background: Contemporary research has shown that acellular dermal matrices can benefit adult lower extremity traumatic injuries; however, its use in children has not been explored.
Objective: This study aims to explore the use of acellular dermal matrices in pediatric complex lower extremity trauma.
Methods: This single-center retrospective observational cohort study of children with complex lower extremity trauma treated with Pelnac™, commercial acellular dermal matrices, was conducted at a tertiary hospital in South Africa from 2010 to 2017.
