Título de la tesis: : “Prevalencia de infecciones en colecistectomía laparoscópica subsiguientes a profilaxis antimicrobiana en adultos. Hospital General Riobamba-IESS, 2021-2022

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Cholecystectomy is gallbladder removal when there are processes of cholelithiasis and cholecystitis. Regarding the laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure, it is minimally invasive with small incisions in the abdominal wall where instruments are inserted to extract the gallbladder; In the definitive treatment of these pathologies, however, there may be risks, such as intra-abdominal and extra-abdominal bleeding from the abdominal wall, infection of the surgical wound, excessive scarring, incisional hernia, intestinal perforation and, infrequently, death. Methodology: This research work is descriptive-retrospective, with data from the medical records of 161 patients who met the inclusion criteria at the Riobamba General Hospital of the Ecuadorian Social Security Institute between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2022. Results: The results obtained demonstrated a wound infection rate of 14.9% in 161 of the population used, which is within normal parameters according to international guidelines for cleaning contaminated wounds, in addition to those that do so. Presented were between the age ranges of 56 to 72 years. Likewise, the most used antibiotic was cefazolin in 2 grams. Determining the respective analysis, it is concluded that the prevalence of infections in laparoscopic cholecystectomy subsequent to antimicrobial prophylaxis in adults is low; and that its main risk factors are personal pathological history, time greater than 120 minutes, and prolonged hospitalization time.
