Surgical Site Infection Articles

Our institution implemented a novel intervention bundle to reduce incisional surgical site infections (SSIs) for patients undergoing radical cystectomy. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the bundle in reducing incisional SSIs post-cystectomy.

Urinary tract infections are amongst the most frequent nosocomial infections followed by surgical site infections (SSI). Antibiotic prophylaxis is only one way to reduce the risk of post-operative infection.

Few studies mention the necessity of antimicrobial prophylaxis (AMP) for transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) and the risk factors for postoperative urinary tract infections (UTIs) after TURBT.
