Hysterectomy",doi:"10.5772/intechopen.101492",slug:"surgical-site-infection-after-hysterectomy",body:'Hysterectomy is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in the United States. In fact, Merrill et al. reported a 45% lifetime risk of hysterectomy [1] with an overall rate of 5.4 per 1000 women per year. The majority of hysterectomies are performed for benign gynecologic conditions—that is, the presence of fibroids. Other indications include abnormal uterine bleeding, uterovaginal prolapse, and pelvic pain. Hysterectomy can be performed via multiple routes—abdominally, laparoscopically (including robotic approach), or vaginally. Vaginal and laparoscopic procedures are considered minimally invasive surgical approaches based on the ability to avoid a large abdominal incision. These routes of hysterectomy are associated with shortened hospitalization and postoperative recovery when compared to the abdominal approach. As a result, analysis of U.S. surgical data demonstrates evolving practice patterns with an increase in minimally invasive hysterectomies and a decrease in abdominal hysterectomies [2, 3].
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines surgical site infection (SSI) as an infection that occurs after surgery near the surgical site within 30 days following surgery or 90 days where an implant is involved. They can range from superficial infections involving skin, or more serious infections involving tissues underneath the skin, organs, or implanted materials. As such, SSI is classified as superficial, deep, or organ/space. The CDC monitors SSI via the National Healthcare Safety Network with reported SSI rates of 1.7% and 0.9% after abdominal and vaginal hysterectomy respectively [4].
In a retrospective cohort study of 23,366 patients undergoing laparoscopic and abdominal hysterectomy between the years 2005 and 2011, 783 (3%) developed a surgical site infection. The majority of these were wound infections with approximately ¼ of cases being infections of the organ space which represents 0.7% of the entire cohort [5]. A more recent large cohort study examining patients between the years 2012 and 2015 demonstrated a 2% incidence of postoperative infection after hysterectomy [6]. When stratified between abdominal versus minimally invasive approaches, the incidence of SSI in the abdominal hysterectomy group exceeded 1%, while the incidences in the other groups were 0.2–0.3% [7, 8, 9].
It is well known that postoperative infections are associated with increased patient morbidity and mortality, and may result in additional costs, extended hospital stays, and prolonged antibiotic use. On average, patients who had an SSI following hysterectomy incur twice the cost of care of their counterparts who did not have an SSI. In a study examining the clinical and economic burden of surgical site infection following hysterectomy, the highest cost owing to SSI ($19,203; 95% CI 17,260–21,365) was for abdominal hysterectomy. In addition, those who had SSI had a mean length of stay (LOS) that was between three and fivefold the LOS of those who did not have an SSI irrespective of surgical approach [10]. SSI following index surgery is also associated with a significantly greater percentage of hospital readmissions. Surgical site infections after hysterectomy have serious implications on patient care and healthcare as a whole. This chapter will review the current literature on surgical site infection (SSI) after hysterectomy for benign indications and address various methods of prevention and treatment.
There are a variety of factors that influence the route of hysterectomy including informed patient preference, accessibility of the uterus, extent of extrauterine disease, size and shape of the vagina and uterus, concurrent procedures, available hospital technology and support, the nature of the case
Evidence supports that the vaginal approach is associated with better outcomes when compared with other approaches to hysterectomy. A Cochrane review analyzing 47 randomized control trials with a total of 5,102 women determined that vaginal hysterectomy resulted in quicker return to normal activity when compared to abdominal hysterectomy. There was no difference in satisfaction, quality of life, and surgical complications. Similarly, laparoscopic hysterectomy also resulted in more rapid recovery, fewer febrile episodes, and lower incidence of SSI when compared to the abdominal approach [12]. In this systematic review, there were no advantages of laparoscopic over vaginal hysterectomy. In addition, the laparoscopic approach was associated with longer operating times and increased rates of urinary tract injuries [13]. As a result, a vaginal approach continues to be the preferred route of hysterectomy.
When it is not feasible to perform a vaginal hysterectomy, a surgeon must choose between a laparoscopic or an open abdominal approach. A Cochrane review demonstrated faster return to normal activity, shorter hospital stay, fewer infections, and improved quality of life in patients undergoing laparoscopic versus abdominal hysterectomy. However, operating times were longer with higher rates of lower urinary tract (bladder and ureter) injuries in the laparoscopy group [13].
When stratified by the type of hysterectomy
When stratified into various forms of laparoscopic hysterectomy including robotic hysterectomy, laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy, and single-port hysterectomy, the authors concluded that more research was needed to determine if there is in fact, a benefit over conventional laparoscopic approaches. The largest study available on single port laparoscopy in gynecology was a retrospective study from Cleveland Clinic reviewing a total of 908 cases. The authors concluded that single port access was safe and feasible in gynecologic surgery inclusive of both malignant and premalignant conditions with a low rate of adverse outcomes. Perhaps the most prevalent adverse outcome is an increased risk of incisional hernia with a rate of 5.5% [15, 16]. Well-designed studies that compare outcomes of alternative hysterectomy routes (robotic, laparoscopic assisted vaginal, and single-port) are needed to determine if patients may benefit from these other approaches.
Although minimally invasive routes to hysterectomy remain the preferred approach, open abdominal hysterectomy is still an important surgical option for some patients. Open abdominal hysterectomy may become necessary in a variety of clinical scenarios including failure of to maintain a minimally invasive approach.
Preoperative medical optimization is critically important in risk reduction for SSI prior to hysterectomy. Eliminating particular risk factors for SSI contributes vastly to perioperative care. This includes taking an in-depth medical history, performing a comprehensive physical exam, and addressing the patient’s medical comorbidities. Patients should be counseled on modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors such as smoking status, diabetes stabilization, anatomic anomalies, renal comorbidities, hydrosalpinx, endometrioma, prior laparotomy, and untreated pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) or bacterial vaginosis [17, 18, 19, 20]. Optimal diabetes control is critical in preventing postoperative SSI with both spot glucose levels ≤200 mg/dl and hemoglobin A1C levels below 8.5–9.0% [21, 22].
Preoperative screening for genital tract infections is generally not necessary; however, certain types of infections are clinically important prior to hysterectomy. It has been well established that bacterial vaginosis (BV) is associated with an increased risk of postoperative cuff cellulitis and subsequent pelvic abscess formation after hysterectomy [23]. Treatment of BV prior to scheduled hysterectomy will decrease this risk.
Practicing safe, high-quality, evidence-based operating room care begins first with accurate identification of the patient, surgical site, and procedure.
In an AAGL white paper, “Enhanced Recovery and Surgical Optimization Protocol for Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery”, infection prophylaxis can be achieved via the implementation of SSI prevention bundles [24]. Quality or safety bundles provide a framework for the implementation of evidence-based practices. They have been validated across multiple disciplines to actually decrease SSI [25, 26, 27, 28]. The ACOG Council on Patient Safety in Women’s Health Care has published a consensus bundle on prevention of SSI prior to gynecologic surgery. This provides a framework for hospitals to develop, implement, and practice evidence-based prevention of SSIs [29].
An example of a hysterectomy bundle is as follows:
The degree of contamination at the time of surgery is classified using the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) wound class. Hysterectomy is a clean-contaminated procedure and as a result, is unavoidably associated with a relatively higher risk of infection as the procedure breaches the genital tract. Common sites of infection after hysterectomy include the abdominal wall, the vaginal cuff, bladder, and pelvic floor. Related complications include pelvic abscess or infected hematoma and sepsis. A patient’s individual susceptibility to infection depends on a variety of factors including bacterial virulence, extent of surgery-related tissue trauma and fluid collection, the effectiveness of the patient’s immune system, age, nutritional status, presence of diabetes, smoking, coexistent infection or colonization with microorganisms. Perhaps the most important factors in SSI prevention in hysterectomy are timely administration of appropriate preoperative antibiotics and meticulous surgical technique. Use of β-lactam alternatives in patients who do not report an anaphylactic reaction can lead to increased antimicrobial resistance. In fact, a retrospective cohort study involving over 21,000 women undergoing hysterectomy demonstrated that the use of standard β-lactam antibiotics had a lower risk of SSI compared to those who received an alternative regimen [23]. Thus, we advise judicious use of β-lactam alternatives for patients with a history of IgE-mediated penicillin hypersensitivity. The most common organisms isolated from vaginal cuff infections are anaerobes. In a large retrospective cohort study with over 18,000 patients undergoing hysterectomy of any type, those receiving cefazolin or a second-generation cephalosporin have more than double the SSI risk compared with those receiving combined treatment with cefazolin and metronidazole [25]. This is likely related to enhanced anaerobic coverage with the addition of metronidazole. We recommend that all patients undergoing hysterectomy receive metronidazole in addition to the standard intraoperative antibiotics.
The CDC also advises that the entire body be cleansed with either soap or antiseptic the night prior to the procedure. Intraoperatively, alcohol-based chlorhexidine is more effective for skin preparation when compared to iodine solutions [30, 31]. With regards to vaginal preparation, either povidone-iodine or chlorhexidine gluconate (4%) with a low concentration of isopropyl alcohol is acceptable, as both significantly reduce rates of postoperative infectious morbidity [32].
In general, our practice will have patients return for short-term postoperative evaluation within 2 weeks following their hysterectomy. Patients are counseled to maintain pelvic rest for a minimum of 8 weeks. Postoperative blood and other secretions from the vaginal cuff may raise the vaginal pH and as a result, increase the risk of bacterial vaginosis. Many patients with vaginal cuff infections present more than 2 weeks following hysterectomy, which suggests a late ascending spread of vaginal microorganisms. As a result, our patients return for a second postoperative appointment and vaginal cuff check approximately 4–6 weeks after their hysterectomy.
Gynecological surgical site infections are polymicrobial with a mix of both anaerobic and aerobic infections. Common pathogens contain gram-negative bacilli, enterococci, streptococci, and anaerobes
Wound exploration and debridement are pillars in the management of superficial and deep-incisional SSIs. This includes not only opening the wound, debridement of necrotic and devitalized tissue, but also involves the culture of the wound to allow for speciation of potential pathogens to assist in antibiotic therapy.
The mortality and morbidity of organ/space SSI tend to be higher than superficial or deep SSI. The primary objective in management is to achieve source control. Computed tomography and ultrasound are employed to guide placement of closed suction percutaneous drains into abscess collections when feasible. The initial approach in treatment of post-hysterectomy pelvic abscess depends on three factors: (1) hemodynamic stability, (2) abscess size, and (3) abscess location. Hemodynamically unstable patients require prompt surgical intervention and intensive care monitoring.
Patients who are hemodynamically stable with a post-hysterectomy pelvic abscess should be treated empirically with parenteral broad-spectrum antibiotics. Initial antimicrobial regimens can be tailored to subsequent culture and sensitivity results. If the patient does not respond within 48–72 hours, percutaneous drainage or infectious disease consultation may be warranted. An argument can be made for earlier percutaneous drainage. In fact, a systematic review comparing the success rates of 3 modalities of minimally invasive management of tubo-ovarian abscesses—laparoscopy, ultrasound-guided drainage and computed tomography-guided drainage
Treatment failure is defined as persistent fever, leukocytosis, pain or lack of abscess resolution. Risk factors include residual fluid collection after drainage and increasing patient age. Surgical management is recommended at this time.
The most common reason for unplanned readmission after surgery is surgical site infection. SSIs are associated with increased morbidity, mortality, transfer to an intensive care setting, prolonged hospitalization, hospital readmission, and increased healthcare costs. In addition, the development of SSI negatively impacts patient experience.
The majority of postoperative issues can be anticipated and prevented preoperatively. Systematically addressing these issues at the preoperative evaluation may result in greater patient satisfaction and fewer complications. Thus, prevention of SSI after hysterectomy begins with a calculation of perioperative risk followed by addressing those risk factors prior to the procedure. Intraoperative measures aimed at SSI prevention include the implementation of evidence-based SSI prevention bundles, proper administration of intraoperative antibiotic prophylaxis, and proper skin/vaginal preparation. Postoperatively, hysterectomy patients should be followed closely.

Fungal infectious illness prevalence and prognosis are determined by the exposure between fungi and host, host immunological state, fungal virulence, and early and accurate diagnosis and treatment. \r\nPatients with both congenital and acquired immunodeficiency are more likely to be infected with opportunistic mycosis. Fungal infectious disease outbreaks are common during the post- disaster rebuilding era, which is characterised by high population density, migration, and poor health and medical conditions.\r\nSystemic or local fungal infection is mainly associated with the fungi directly inhaled or inoculated in the environment during the disaster. The most common fungal infection pathways are human to human (anthropophilic), animal to human (zoophilic), and environment to human (soilophile). Diseases are common as a result of widespread exposure to pathogenic fungus dispersed into the environment. \r\nFungi that are both common and emerging are intertwined. In Southeast Asia, for example, Talaromyces marneffei is an important pathogenic thermally dimorphic fungus that causes systemic mycosis. Widespread fungal infections with complicated and variable clinical manifestations, such as Candida auris infection resistant to several antifungal medicines, Covid-19 associated with Trichoderma, and terbinafine resistant dermatophytosis in India, are among the most serious disorders. \r\nInappropriate local or systemic use of glucocorticoids, as well as their immunosuppressive effects, may lead to changes in fungal infection spectrum and clinical characteristics. Hematogenous candidiasis is a worrisome issue that affects people all over the world, particularly ICU patients. CARD9 deficiency and fungal infection have been major issues in recent years. Invasive aspergillosis is associated with a significant death rate. Special attention should be given to endemic fungal infections, identification of important clinical fungal infections advanced in yeasts, filamentous fungal infections, skin mycobiome and fungal genomes, and immunity to fungal infections.\r\nIn addition, endemic fungal diseases or uncommon fungal infections caused by Mucor irregularis, dermatophytosis, Malassezia, cryptococcosis, chromoblastomycosis, coccidiosis, blastomycosis, histoplasmosis, sporotrichosis, and other fungi, should be monitored. \r\nThis topic includes the research progress on the etiology and pathogenesis of fungal infections, new methods of isolation and identification, rapid detection, drug sensitivity testing, new antifungal drugs, schemes and case series reports. It will provide significant opportunities and support for scientists, clinical doctors, mycologists, antifungal drug researchers, public health practitioners, and epidemiologists from all over the world to share new research, ideas and solutions to promote the development and progress of medical mycology.",coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series_topics/covers/4.jpg",hasOnlineFirst:!0,hasPublishedBooks:!1,annualVolume:11400,editor:{id:"174134",title:"Dr.",name:"Yuping",middleName:null,surname:"Ran",slug:"yuping-ran",fullName:"Yuping Ran",profilePictureURL:"https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/intech-files/0030O00002bS9d6QAC/Profile_Picture_1630330675373",biography:"Dr. Yuping Ran, Professor, Department of Dermatology, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
