Incidence and Risk Factors for Post-Appendectomy Emergency Surgical Site Infections.
The incidence of SSI following appendectomy was relatively higher than in previous studies, though no significant risk factors were identified. Given this, standardization and adherence to evidence-based infection control practices, such as an appropriate preoperative antiseptic preparation, timely administration of prophylactic antibiotics, and the use of laparoscopic techniques when feasible, might help reduce SSI risk.
