Abstract
PURPOSE: The aims of the present study were to assess whether planned secondary wound closure at the insertion site of the circular stapler reduces wound infection rate and postoperative morbidity after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and to identify independent predictive factors increasing the risk for wound infections after RYGB. METHODS: This paper is a retrospective single-center analysis of a prospectively collected database of 1400 patients undergoing RYGB surgery in circular technique between June 2000 and June 2016. Planned secondary wound closure at the circular stapler introduction site was performed at postoperative day 3 in 291 (20.8%) consecutive patients and compared to a historical control of 1109 (79.2%) consecutive patients with primary wound closure. Independent predictive factors for wound infection were assessed by multivariable analysis. RESULTS: Secondary wound closure significantly decreased wound infection rate from 9.3% (103/1109) to 1% (3/291) (p < 0.001) leading to a shorter hospital stay (mean 9 (SD8) vs. 7 days (SD2), p < 0.001), lower costs (p = 0.039), and reduced postoperative morbidity (mean 90-day Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) 7.4 (SD14.0) vs. 5.1 (SD11.1) p = 0.008) when compared to primary wound closure. Primary wound closure, dyslipidemia, and preoperative gastritis were independent predictive risk factors for developing wound infections both in the univariate (p < 0.001; p = 0.048; p = 0.003) and multivariable analysis (p < 0.001; p = 0.040; p = 0.012). Further, on multivariable analysis, the female gender was a predictive factor (p = 0.034) for wound infection development. CONCLUSIONS: Secondary wound closure at the circular stapler introduction site in laparoscopic RYGB significantly reduces the overall wound infection rate as well as postoperative morbidity, costs, and hospital stay when compared to primary wound closure.
