Surgical Site Infections in Simultaneous Colorectal and Liver Resections for Metastatic Colorectal Adenocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a major driver of morbidity after combined liver and colorectal surgery for metastatic colorectal cancer. Available literature is inadequate to characterize risk factors and benchmarks for quality improvement.

Methods

Consecutive cases of simultaneous liver and colorectal surgery for colorectal adenocarcinoma from November 2013 through September 2022 were reviewed for SSIs per National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) and National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) criteria. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression evaluated associations with NSQIP 30-day organ-space SSIs.

Results

In 580 procedures, the rate of 30-day organ-space SSIs was 16% (n = 94) using NSQIP criteria and 11% (n = 64) using NHSN cri
