Antecedentes: La incidencia de infección del sitio operatorio (ISO) en cirugía de mama ha sido mayor de lo esperado, considerando este como un procedimiento quirúrgico limpio. Pocos estudios han reportado una incidencia menor del 5,0% y la mayoría de publicaciones la ubican entre 10,2 y 30,0%. Objetivo: Estimar la incidencia, los factores asociados y el intervalo libre de infección a 30 días, en las mujeres que se sometieron a cirugía oncológica y reconstructiva de mama. Métodos: Estudio de cohorte prospectivo en mujeres con cáncer de mama, que se sometieron a cirugía de mama conservadora o radical en un centro médico de referencia de Medellín, Colombia. Los resultados fueron infección del sitio operatorio y tiempo al evento. El análisis de supervivencia libre de infección se realizó con el método de Kaplan Meier y el modelo multivariado de riesgos proporcionales de Cox. Resultados: Seguimiento a 308 procedimientos quirúrgicos oncológicos de mama consecutivos; 161 (52,3%) fueron cuadrantectomías y 147 (47,7%) mastectomías, con una incidencia de ISO de 16,2% (50 casos). Los factores de riesgo asociados fueron: seroma-hematoma 79 (25,6%), HR 2,7 (IC 95%: 1,5; 4,9) y la presencia de dispositivos de drenaje, HR 5,6 (IC 95% 2,2; 14,3). El tiempo medio para el desarrollo de SSI fue de 16 días. Conclusión: Nuestro estudio mostró que la presencia de seroma hematoma posoperatorios y el uso extendido de dispositivos de drenaje fueron factores independientes para la presentación de infección del sitio operatorio en cirugía oncológica de mama.

Background and Objectives. Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common postoperative complication associated with breast cancer surgery. The present investigation aimed to determine the SSI rate after breast cancer surgeries and the causative microorganisms. Patients and Methods. All patients who underwent breast surgery in Kuwait Cancer Control Center as a treatment for breast cancer from January 2009–December 2010 were prospectively followed for the development of SSI. Indirect detection was used to identify SSIs through medical record to review and discussion with the treating surgeons. Results. The number of operations was 438. Females represented 434 (99.1%) cases while males constituted only 4 (0.9%) cases. SSIs were diagnosed after 10 operations, all for female cases. Most of the SSIs (8 cases; 80%) were detected after patients were discharged, during outpatient followup. Out of those 5/8; (62.5%) were readmitted for management of SSI. Nine patients (90%) received systemic antibiotic therapy for management of their wound infection. The SSI rate was 2.3%. The main causative organism was Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) which was responsible for 40% of infections. Gram negative bacteria were isolated from 40% of the cases. Conclusion. SSI is an important complication following breast cancer surgery. Microbiological diagnosis is an essential tool for proper management of such patients.
