Abstract

BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate the use of drainage in surgery for perforated appendicitis and to determine its effect(s) on complications. METHODS Two-hundred and eight patients diagnosed with perforated appendicitis between May 1999 and January 2009 were retrospectively evaluated in terms of using drainage with respect to surgical infections and other complications and duration of hospital stay. RESULTS A total of 208 patients diagnosed with perforated appendicitis underwent surgery. The mean age of the patients was 41.05 ± 16.30 years. Of the 208 patients, 128 (61.5%) were male. The median duration of complaints was 2 days (1-15 days). Drainage was applied in 83 patients (39.9%). The median duration of drainage was 3 days (1-7 days). Surgical infections, wound dehiscence, other complications, and re-hospitalization rates were significantly higher in patients with drainage. The mean time from appearance of complaints to surgery, the duration of hospitalization and antibiotic treatment were also longer in the drainage group (p=0.001 for all). A higher rate of the patients with an accompanying disease (39.8%-19.2%) and midline incision (20.5%-3.2%) and of the elderly patients had drainage. Multivariate analyses showed that using a drain independently affected surgical infections (p<0.001). CONCLUSION It can be concluded that using a drain after surgery for perforated appendicitis increases surgical infections and in turn the duration of hospital stay.

Özet

AMAÇ Perfore apandisit ameliyatlarında halen tartışma konusu olan dren kullanımının komplikasyonlara etkisi araştırıldı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Mayıs 1999- Ocak 2009 tarihleri arasında hastanemizde ameliyat edilen, ameliyat esnasında veya sonrasında perfore apandisit olduğu saptanan hastaların dren koyulma durumları, cerrahi alan enfeksiyonları, diğer komplikasyonlar ve hastanede yatış süreleri geriye dönük tarandı. BULGULAR Çalışma süresi içinde 208 hasta (ortalama yaş 41,05±16,30) perfore apandisit tanısı ile ameliyat edildi. Hastaların 128’i (%61,5) erkek idi. Ortanca şikayet süresi 2 (dağılım, 1-15) gün idi. 83 hastaya (%39,9) dren koyulmuştu. Ortanca dren kalış süresi 3 (dağılım, 1-7) gün idi. Dren koyulan hastalarda cerrahi alan enfeksiyonu, yara ayrışması, komplikasyon gelişme oranı ve tekrar hastaneye yatış gerekliliği anlamlı ölçüde yüksek bulundu. Dren koyulanlarda şikayetlerin başlaması ile ameliyat arasında geçen süre, ameliyat sonrası antibiyotik verilme süresi ve ameliyat sonrası hastanede kalış süresi anlamlı olarak daha uzun bulundu (hepsi için p=0,001). Dren koyulan ve koyulmayan hastalarda sırasıyla yandaş hastalık oranı %39,8-%19,2, orta hat kesisi ile ameliyat edilenler %20,5 -%3,2 oranında bulundu. Yaşlılarda daha sık dren koyulduğu görüldü. Dren koyulmasının çok değişkenli analizde cerrahi alan enfeksiyonu gelişimini bağımsız olarak etkilediği saptandı (p<0,001). SONUÇ Perfore apandisit ameliyatlarından sonra dren kullanımı cerrahi alan enfeksiyonlarını arttıran, buna bağlı olarak da hastanede yatış süresini uzatan bir işlem olarak gözükmektedir.
