Summary: | This study aimed to investigate the effect of double-lumen irrigation-suction tube (DLIST) in the management of surgical site infections (SSIs) after enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) excisions.
From January 2016 to December 2017 medical records of patients with ECF excisions were reviewed. Patients with primary superficial SSI were divided into group a (treated with DLIST) and b (treated with delayed primary closures). Patients with primary deep SSI were divided into group A (treated with DLIST) and B (treated with vacuum-assisted closure [VAC]). The effect of the DLIST was evaluated.
There were 32 in group a and 27 in group b. The therapeutic time and cost in group a were lower (13.13 ± 2.37 d vs. 24.89 ± 7.44 d; p |
