Assessing the risk factors for surgical site infections after anal reconstruction surgery in patients with anorectal malformations: a retrospective analysis
Topic overview
A 10-year retrospective study of 164 pediatric patients in Japan identifies surgical site infection risk factors following anorectal malformation repair. Key finding: perianal muscle division significantly increases SSI risk in patients over 4 months with certain ARM types, suggesting surgical technique selection impacts infection outcomes.
Key takeaways
- SSI rate after ARM reconstruction was 4%, with infections primarily occurring from neo-anus to perineal region.
- In perineal fistula, vestibular fistula, and anal stenosis cases >4 months old, perianal muscle division significantly increased SSI risk.
- Organ/space SSIs occurred specifically in rectourethral fistula (prostatic/bulbar) and perineal cutaneous fistula types.
- Surgical procedure choice is an interventional factor associated with SSI risk in ARM reconstruction.
- Multi-center retrospective data from Hokkaido (2013-2022) included 164 ARM cases across various surgical approaches.
