Summary: This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the timing of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis affects the risk of surgical site infection, but no significant difference was found within the 60-minute interval before incision. In contrast to earlier studies, this research was unable to replicate differences in SSI risk.

Summary: This study compared the clinical features, treatment course, and prognosis of delayed postoperative spinal infection (PSI) with acute PSI. The results showed that delayed-onset PSI requires more extensive and longer treatment than acute-onset PSI, including revision surgery and additional instrumentation. The causative organisms and clinical manifestations did not differ between the two groups.

Summary: This study aimed to analyze SSI and its risk factors in patients after thoracic or lumbar spine surgery, finding that only wound complications and warm seasons were significantly associated with SSI development according to multivariate regression analysis. Contrary to the prevailing literature, corticosteroids, diabetes mellitus, or transfusions were not identified as risk factors for SSI development.

Summary: This study aimed to identify risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) in dermatologic surgery. The study found that risk factors for wound infection included defect size over 10cm(2), surgery of cutaneous malignancy, postoperative bleeding, delayed flap closure, and surgery localized to the ear and lower extremities.

Summary: This study examined the changes in surgical site infection rates before and after the implementation of antibiotic stewardship programs and infection control measures in a Vietnamese tertiary care hospital. The results showed a decrease in surgical site infection rates after the implementation of these programs, although the difference was not statistically significant. Comprehensive infection control education and policies are needed in Vietnamese hospitals to prevent surgical site infections.

Summary: This study investigated the utility of continued antibiotic prophylaxis after mastectomy without immediate reconstruction and with indwelling drains. The results showed that continued antibiotic prophylaxis did not provide additional benefits in reducing surgical site infection rates.

Summary: This study compared the rate and severity of surgical site infections (SSIs) in facial fracture patients undergoing open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF) using two different antibiotic regimens (single-dose and prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis). The results showed no significant difference in the incidence or severity of SSIs between the two groups.

Summary: The use of vancomycin/gentamicin (VGA) as a second-line prophylaxis for surgical site infection (SSI) seems to be as effective as cephalosporins (CA), although the microbiological etiology differs.

Summary: This study primarily analyzed the surgical site infection in implant-based breast reconstruction, and found no infections occurred after the introduction of the prevention protocol in June 2020, with a decreasing trend in infection rates.

Summary: The association between bactibilia and postoperative complications in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy is influenced by perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis. The presence of cefoxitin-resistant organisms in bile cultures is associated with increased risk of surgical site infection and clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the impact of extended antibiotic prophylaxis (ABP) on the rate of surgical site infection (SSI) and describe the microbiology of SSI in pelvic bone and/or soft tissue sarcoma removal surgery. The study found that extending ABP did not reduce the incidence of infection, and SSI were mainly polymicrobial. Risk factors for infection included surgery duration, postoperative ICU stay, and skin flap type.

Summary: Short pre-surgical antibiotic prophylaxis is effective in preventing surgical wound infection following extraction of a mandibular third molar. Most studies suggest that pre-surgical administration and osteotomy are the most effective methods for preventing SWI, while post-surgical prophylaxis, although effective, is not fully supported by the literature.

Summary: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a combined treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis, but patients are at high risk of infections and complications. Many authors have proposed aggressive screening protocols and vigilant monitoring to minimize and promptly identify infectious complications.

Summary: Transplantation for HCC is a complex topic, requiring considerations of multiple factors. Balancing tumor size with post-transplant outcome is still an ongoing challenge. Tumor downstaging and the use of new technologies have increased the number of HCC transplants, and these advances can also be applied to other liver tumors.

Summary: DCD liver transplantation is an underutilized method that can increase access to liver transplantation. With proper donor and recipient selection, matching, surgical technique, and perioperative management, these transplants can achieve similar patient and graft survival rates as DBD liver transplantation. The main limitations in the further growth of DCD liver transplantation are driven by risk aversion, and the current experience is mainly concentrated in large centers. With the advancement of regional and machine perfusion techniques, the definition of a viable DCD liver allograft may be redefined, encouraging wider usage and acceptance.

Summary: Downstaging has been shown to be feasible within UNOS-DS criteria, with successful long-term outcomes. Interventional liver-directed therapies have been the standard, but systemic therapies are becoming more effective. Immunotherapy holds promise in downstaging, but further trials are needed to assess feasibility and safety. Individual expertise will continue to guide treatment until more data is available.

Summary: hCCA is a biologically aggressive disease and surgical resection is the only curative treatment. Factors such as patient's physical condition, tumor involvement, residual liver volume, and assessment of metastatic disease heavily influence the feasibility of surgical resection. A multidisciplinary, holistic, and individualized approach is critical for accurately determining resectability and optimizing clinical outcomes for patients with hCCA.
