[Analysis of surgical site infection rate in pancreas operation and its related risk factors].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the surgical site infection (SSI) rate of pancreas operation and its related risk factors.


METHODS
We retrospectively analyzed sex, age, hospitalization time before operation, wound class, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status score, and operation time in 196 patients after pancreas operation.


RESULTS
SSI occurred in 14 patients (7.1%). The sex, age, hospitalization time before operation, wound class, and ASA score had no significant difference between SSI group and non-SSI group (P>0.05), while statistically significant difference was found in the term of operation time (P<0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
Operation time is a significant risk factor of SSI. There were no any relations between hospitalization time before operation, wound class, and ASA score.
