Abstract

The introduction of surgery by video-laparoscopy brought several benefits for patients and for the institution: the reduction of the stay in the hospital, time and incision exposure, size of the incision, etc. This study analyzed the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) among patients submitted to surgeries of cholecistectomy by videolaparoscopy (CSV) and by conventional technique (CT). It is a prospective study, where 98 patients submitted to CT and CSV were accompanied, with notification of 19 SSI. The incidence of SSI for patients that submitted to CT was 32,1% and for CSV 14,3% (OR = 2,25 [1,02-4,94] and p = 0,12). The results obtained in this study showed that patients submitted to CC had 2,25 times more probability of SSI, when compared to the CSV patients.
