Article Synopsis
- Craniotomies are complex surgeries that can lead to serious complications like surgical site infections (SSIs), prompting a study to identify risk factors for these infections.
- The retrospective study analyzed data from patients who underwent craniotomies between May 2020 and May 2023, classifying them into SSI and Non-SSI groups based on post-operative infections, and included various demographic and clinical parameters for a comprehensive understanding.
- Results indicated that older age, longer surgery times, higher ASA grades, and emergency procedures increased the risks of SSIs, while having epidural/subdural drainage acted as a protective factor; common pathogens included coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Escherichia coli.
Longer survival of glioblastoma complicated by bacterial infections after surgery: what is known today.

Article Synopsis
- Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive and common brain tumor in adults, with patients facing a poor prognosis, especially after surgery due to potential infections.
- Research revealed a case of longer-than-expected survival in a glioblastoma patient who developed multiple post-surgery infections, highlighting the uncertain impact of these infections on patient outcomes.
- A review of four studies with a total of 29 glioblastoma patients showed that Staphylococcus bacteria were common culprits in postoperative infections, and while median survival was generally low, one study suggested higher survival rates in infected patients, suggesting a possible link that requires further investigation.

Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) after craniotomy even though rare, poses a real risk of surgery and represents a substantial burden of disease for both patients and healthcare services in terms of morbidity, mortality and economic cost. The knowledge of risk factor for surgical site infection after craniotomy will allow the authority to implement specific preventive measures to reduce the infection rate. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to determine the incidence and the risk factors of surgical site infection after craniotomy.
