Risk factors for organ-space surgical site infections after minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The study focused on identifying risk factors for organ-space surgical site infections (SSIs) in patients undergoing minimally invasive rectal cancer surgery and examining the impact of these infections on oncological outcomes.

Methods

This retrospective study included 1304 patients who underwent either robotic surgery or laparoscopic surgery for rectal cancer. Patients were divided into two groups: those with organ-space SSIs (9.7%, n = 126) and those without organ-space SSIs (n = 1178). Univariate and multivariable analyses were conducted to identify predictors or independent risk factors for organ-space SSI. The post-operative pathological data, short-term outcomes, and oncological prognosis were compared between patients with and without organ-space SSIs.
