QUIROGA-CENTENO, Andrea Carolina et al. Early infection of the surgical mesh in incisional herniorrhaphy. Incidence, risk factors, and outcomes in more than 60,000 patients. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.2, pp.194-205. Epub 25-Abr-2022. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.1119.
Introduction.
Mesh infection in abdominal wall hernia repair surgery has poor outcome, associated with an increased risk of complications. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence, associated factors, and outcomes in patients undergoing incisional herniorrhaphy with mesh and subsequent diagnosis of early infection.
Methods.
Retrospective cohort study. Hospital discharge data from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) of the United States of America were used to identify all adult patients undergoing incisional herniorrhaphy during the years 2010 to 2015. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate risk factors in early mesh infection, and finally, logistic and linear regression models, according to the type of dependent variable, of the stepwise forward type to evaluate the association between the diagnosis of mesh infection and adverse outcomes.
Results.
A total of 63,925 patients were included. The incidence of early infection of the mesh was 0.59%, finding as associated factors: comorbidities (obesity, protein-caloric malnutrition, deficiency anemia and depression), clinical-surgical factors (peritoneal adhesions, intestinal resection, laparoscopic surgery and surgical site complications) and administrative or healthcare.
Conclusions.
Early infection, although rare, is associated with a significantly increased risk of complications. Pre-surgical optimization based on risk factors for this poor outcome is a key element in reducing the incidence and mitigating the impact of infection in patients with mesh incisional herniorrhaphy.
