RISK FACTORS FOR INFECTIONS AT SURGICAL SITES AND REMOTE REGIONS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING LAPAROSCOPIC PYELOPLASTY AND EVALUATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL PROPHYLAXIS

(Objectives) We measured the incidences of surgical site infections (SSIs) and remote infections (RIs) in patients undergoing laparoscopic pyeloplasty to treat ureteropelvic junction obstruction, and the effects of prophylactic antimicrobial agents. (Patients and Methods) We compared the incidences of SSI and RI, risk factors for such infections, and differences in the prophylactic antimicrobial protocols in 94 patients who underwent laparoscopic pyeloplasty at our hospital from August 2009 to June 2021. (Results) Two patients experienced SSIs (2.1%) and three had RIs (3.2%). There were no significant differences in the incidence of either infection type in those who complied and did not comply with the prophylactic antimicrobial guidelines. (Conclusions) Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is associated with low incidences of both SSI and RI; prophylactic antimicrobials may not be required. A large multicenter survey is required for continuous evaluation of SSIs and RIs and to accumulate data.
