Incidence of Ssi After c.s

aim of the work is to evaluate adherence to preoperative , intraoperative, and postoperative infection preventive measures during cesarean section and to assess it s impact on the incidence of surgical site infection and maternal well-being during 30 days postoperative peroid.

Vaginal Microbiota and Post-cesarean SSI

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the relationship between vaginal microbiota composition and the development of post-cesarean section wound infection in women undergoing cesarean delivery. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a correlation between specific vaginal microbiota profiles and the incidence of post-cesarean section wound infection? Can specific bacterial taxa or diversity indices within the vaginal microbiota predict the risk of post-cesarean section wound infection? Participants will: Provide vaginal swab samples pre-operatively and post-operatively. Undergo standard post-cesarean section care and follow-up. Have wound assessment performed per standard of care, and have data collected regarding wound infection status. Have demographic and clinical data collected, including but not limited to, antibiotic use, gestational age, and comorbidities.

Irrisept Solution for Instrumented Spine Surgery

Various spine surgeons perform wound irrigation using saline mixed with vancomycin, relying on mechanical debridement of non-viable tissue, physical disruption of biofilm, and bacteriostatic effect against gram positive flora. When used as a powder, topical application of vancomycin has demonstrated increased risk of symptomatic seroma formation, which is an adverse outcome that often requires bedside or intra-operative aspiration. Broad-spectrum antiseptic agents, such as Irrisept, offer bacteriocidal properties to eliminate hardware inoculation, thereby minimizing the risk of deep space infection, while obviating the risk of seroma development.
