Topic Overview

Columbus Children's Hospital reduced wound infection rates after stoma takedown from 21% to 2% through a perioperative bundle and antibiotic switch from cefoxitin to ertapenem. Published in Journal of Pediatric Surgery, October 2019, demonstrating significant improvement in surgical site infection prevention.

Key Takeaways

  • Perioperative bundle for stoma takedown reduced wound infection rate from 21% to 8% (Norton et al., 2017)
  • Switching antibiotics from cefoxitin to Unasyn further decreased infection rate to 2% (JPS, October 2019)
  • Antibiotic selection is a critical modifiable factor in preventing surgical site infections after stoma closure
  • Bundled interventions combined with optimized antimicrobial prophylaxis achieve superior infection control outcomes
