    CLINICAL ARTICLE J Neurosurg Spine 28:209–214, 2018 Preoperative skin antisepsis with chlorhexidine gluconate versus povidone-iodine: a prospective analysis of 6959 consecutive spinal surgery patients George M.

Crandall, MD, Marina Dididze, MD, PhD, and Allan D. Levi, MD, PhD Department of Neurological Surgery and The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of 2 common preoperative surgical skin antiseptic agents, ChloraPrep and Betadine, in the reduction of postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) in spinal surgery proce- dures. METHODS Two preoperative surgical skin antiseptic agents—ChloraPrep (2% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% iso- propyl alcohol) and Betadine (7.5% povidone-iodine solution)—were prospectively compared across 2 consecutive time periods for all consecutive adult neurosurgical spine patients. The primary end point was the incidence of SSI. RESULTS A total of 6959 consecutive spinal surgery patients were identified from July 1, 2011, through August 31, 2015, with 4495 (64.6%) and 2464 (35.4%) patients treated at facilities 1 and 2, respectively. Sixty-nine (0.992%) SSIs were observed. There was no significant difference in the incidence of infection between patients prepared with Beta- dine (33 [1.036%] of 3185) and those prepared with ChloraPrep (36 [0.954%] of 3774; p = 0.728). Neither was there a significant difference in the incidence of infection in the patients treated at facility 1 (52 [1.157%] of 4495) versus facility 2 (17 [0.690%] of 2464; p = 0.06).

The procedure is intended to drain a cyst(s), abscess(es), or infected tissue. Risks include: bleeding, infection, burn injury, pain, scarring, failure to diagnose or cure the underlying condition, persistence or recurrence of the condition. To reduce risk of infection, after the procedure keep area as clean and dry as possible. Wash three times each day with lukewarm water and mild soap. Dry by gently dabbing with a soft wel to or carefully use a blow dryer on the cool setting. Follow each wash/dry with antibacterial ointment (such as Neosporin or Bacitracin). If genital incision and drainage ou is performed, y may also place antibiotic ointment onto cotton balls (not cosmetic puffs) to cover the wounds during urination or bowel movements. Benefits may include achieving a diagnosis (by distinguishing between a cyst and an abscss) and alleviating symptoms such as pain.

Methods: A total of 128 patients with perianal abscesses were randomly divided into group A (radical incision and drainage, n = 64) and group B (simple incision and drainage, n = 64). Results: Visual analogue scale (VAS) score, gas, postoperative persistent infection and wound healing time in group A were significantly lower than those in group B (all P<0.001). Compared with group B, group A had significantly higher effective treatment rates, but lower serum ACTA levels 3 days after operation and lower recurrence rate of perianal abscess and anal fistula (P<0.001). Conclusion: The application of radical incision and drainage in patients with perianal abscesses can effectively reduce postoperative pain, and also has the advantages of faster postopera- tive recovery, lower incidence of adverse events and reduced inflammatory response. Radical incision and drainage and serum ACTA levels 3 days after operation are key factors for the recurrence of perianal abscess and anal fistula in patients with perianal abscesses.

Thus, our study aimed to analyze the incidence and the clinical features of PAD in pa- tients with UC. Methods: We reviewed the data on 944 patients with an initial diagnosis of UC from October 2003 to October 2015. PAD was categorized as hemorrhoids, anal fissures, abscesses, and fistulae after anoscopic examination by experienced proctol- ogists. Data on patients’ demographics, incidence and types of PAD, medications, surgical therapies, and clinical course were analyzed. Results: The median follow-up period was 58 months (range, 12–142 months). Of the 944 UC patients, the cumulative in- cidence rates of PAD were 8.1% and 16.0% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. The incidence rates of bleeding hemorrhoids, anal fissures, abscesses, and fistulae at 10 years were 6.7%, 5.3%, 2.6%, and 3.4%, respectively. The cumulative incidence rates of perianal sepsis (abscess or fistula) were 2.2% and 4.5% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. In the multivariate analyses, male sex (risk ratio [RR], 4.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7–12.5) and extensive disease (RR, 4.2; 95% CI, 1.6–10.9) were significantly associated with the development of perianal sepsis.

Beaumont Hospital, Teaching Hospital of Michigan State University, Farmington Hills, MI, USA. E-mail: Gregory.Taylor@ Beaumont.org Abstract An anorectal abscess, specifically a perianal abscess, is a relatively uncommon infection in children. It is a purulent fluid collection under the soft tissue outside the anus. Some of these abscesses may spontaneously drain and heal by themselves, while others may result in sepsis and require surgical intervention. The transition to a systemic illness requiring hospital admission is considered rare. We present the case of a 2-year-old male presenting with a febrile seizure and found to be systemically ill secondary to a perianal abscess. To our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature of a febrile seizure secondary to a perianal abscess.

Intra-abdominal disease can present as an extra-abdominal abscess and can follow several routes, including the greater sciatic foramen, obturator foramen, femoral canal, pelvic outlet, and inguinal canal. Nerves and vessels can also serve as a route out of the abdomen. The psoas muscle extends from the twelfth thoracic and fifth lower lumbar vertebrae to the lesser trochanter of thefemur, which means that disease in this muscle group can migrate along the muscle, out of the abdomen, and present as a thigh abscess. We present a case of a primary pelvic staphylococcal infection presenting as a thigh abscess. The patient was a 60-year-old man who presented with left posterior thigh pain and fever. Physical examination revealed a diffusely swollen left thigh with overlying erythematous, shiny, and tense skin. X-rays revealed no significant soft tissue lesions, ultrasound was suggestive of an inflammatory process, and MRI showed inflammatory changes along the left hemipelvis and thigh involving the iliacus muscle group, left gluteal region, and obturator internus muscle.
