History • Lister: 1867 On the antiseptic principle in practice of surgery • Louis Pasteur, Ignaz Semmelweis, Theodor Kocher and William S. Halsted • Application of antiseptic practices allowed infection rate of operation to drop from 90% to 10%.
History • Antibiotics: introduced in the middle of 20th century • Hope serious surgical infection eliminated, but this did not occur. • Nosocomial infection, widespread antibiotics therapy • New techniques: endoprosthesis, transplantation requires immunosuppressive agents, et al.
Definition The infection required operative intervention, including that complicated from trauma, operation and burns, et al. Caused by the invasion, resident and proliferation of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses and fungi et al.
Classification: Pathogenesis: Non-specific infection: suppurative infection presentation: redness, swelling, hot, soreness pathogens: Staphylococci aureus, Streptococci. Specific infection: tuberculosis, tetanus, gas gangrene, fungi
Classification procession: acute subacute chronic
Classification Source of pathogens: Primary Secondary Exogenous Endogenous
Classification Opportunity: Opportunistic Superinfection Nosocomial infection
Etiology Causes of surgical infection: normal bacterial flora---pathogenic bacteria exogenous bacteria low host resistance
Etiology Bacteria factors: adherence toxins: exotoxin, endotoxin numbers of bacteria: 105
Etiology Local factors: injury of skin or mucosa duct obstruction blood supply skin or mucosa diseases
Etiology Systemic factors: • severe disease • hormone • malnutrition • AIDS
Pathology • Non-specific infection: • bacteria proliferation • leucocyte infiltration • inflammatory media and cytokines release • congestion, excudation • accumulation of serum, blood cells, necrotic tissues • redness, swelling, hot and soreness, and dysfunction.
Pathology • results: alleviate suppurative to spread to be chronic
Pathology • Specific infection: tuberculosis tetanus gas gangrene fungi infection
Diagnosis • Clinical presentation: systemic condition local condition organic-systemic dysfunction specific expression • Investigation: experiment test imaging: US, X-ray,CT, MRI
Management • Local treatment: • protect infection site • superficial lesion • deep lesion • Antibiotics:
Management • Improve systemic conditions: hydro-electrolyte, nutrition companion diseases
Furuncle • Acute suppurative infection within one hair-follicle and surrounding tissue • Pathology: acute suppurative inflammation • congestion and exudation of components of blood Furunculosis: infection of several hair follicles in a circumscribed area.
Carbuncle • A confluent infection involving multiple contiguous follicles in which the infection is limited to the subcutaneous tissue by thick overlying skin and dense subcutaneous fascia. • Carbuncles require incision for drainage and treatment.
Cellulites • acute infection of loosing connective tissue. • Pathogens: B-hemolytic Streptococci or Staphylococci aureus • Clinical presentation: redness of skin, swilling and boundless • Anaerobic cellulites: crepitation • Treatment: antibiotics incision and draninage
Erysipelas Skin wound local inflammation lymphadenitis systemic inflammation Redness of skin with clear boundary Edema of proximal lymphanode Systemic sepsis
Abscess • Characterized by a necrotic center without a blood supply and composed of debris from local tissues, dead and dying leukocytes, components of blood and plasma and bacteria • This semiliquid central portion (Pus) is surrounded by a vascularized zone of inflammatory tissue.
Treatment • Incision and drainage • Antibiotics
paronychia lateral nail fold trauma redness, pain suppurative infection Treatment: • incision and drainage • removal of the nail: infection extend deep to the nail • antibiotics
felon paronychia spread or penetration wound pain fever WBC Treatment: incision and drainage antibiotics
Suppurative tenovaginitis, bursitis and infection of palm spaces infection of the flexor tendon sheath, bursts and palm spaces, which is usually caused by a puncture wound to the volar aspect of the digit or palm
thenar space midpalmer space hypothenar space • Treatment incision irrigation and drainage antibiotics
