TO ASSESS CORRELATION BETWEEN THE REDUCTION IN INCIDENCE OF SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS AND ANTIBIOTIC DURATION IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING PANCREATICODUODENECTOMY

Overview

Brief Summary

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a high-complexity surgery associated with significant postoperative infectious morbidity. Perioperative antibiotics are standard practice, however the optimal duration of administration remains unclear. This study will compare different durations of perioperative antibiotic therapy in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy to determine their impact on the incidence, type and severity of postoperative infectious complications. The findings aim to inform evidence based guidelines, improve patient outcomes and promote rational antibiotic use

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

TO ASSESS CORRELATION BETWEEN THE REDUCTION IN INCIDENCE OF SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS AND ANTIBIOTIC DURATION IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING PANCREATICODUODENECTOMY

Time Frame: Outcomes will be assessed postoperatively at the baseline during hospital stay, 1 month and 3 months after surgery

Secondary Outcomes

  • Other infectious complications assessment like intra abdominal abscess, postoperative pancreatitis, cholangitis, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, sepsis and length of hospital stay(TILL 3 MONTHS)
