OBJECTIVES
To determine the frequency of surgical site infection in mesh repair for inguinal hernias.
METHODOLOGY
This Descriptive observational study was carried out at the Surgical B unit of Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar from November 2021 to October 2022. A total of 179 patients were included in the study were given a single dose of antibiotics, i.e.1, gm Ceftriaxone, one hour before inguinal hernia mesh repair.
RESULTS
A total of 179 patients aged between 30-60 years with a mean age of 45 years were enrolled. There were 98(54.7%) male while 81(45.3%) females. The frequency of wound infection was noted in 23 (12.8%) patients following mesh repair for inguinal hernia. Out of 23, most of the patients, 10(43.5%) had Medical redness & tenderness, 8(34.8%) patients had pus discharge from the wound side, and 5(21.7%) patients had wound site abscesses.
CONCLUSION
Surgical site infection after mesh repair was higher than the internationally reported incidence. Establishing a baseline SSI rate for inguinal hernia repairs offers a useful benchmark for future studies and surgical programs in these
