Prosthetic Graft Infection

During past 20 years the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has shown it effectivity and efficiency in treatment of different indications. These indications include treatment of septic complications of open surgery (open abdomen, enteroatmospheric fistulas, wound dehiscence including sternotomy infections, staged abdominal wall repair, diabetic foot syndrome, and salvage of infected prosthetic material) or their prevention (prevention of complications in skin graft application and prevention of prosthetic graft infection). Such use consists of either external use directly in the wound, or intracorporal applications (intraabdominal NPWT, intrathoracal NPWT).  New approaches and ways of application are evolving. One of new therapeutic methods are endoluminal use in both upper and lower gastrointestinal tract.  Authors performed and present thorough review of the literature on use of endoluminal NPWT in anastomotic leakage in rectal surgery patients.  Authors conclude, that endo NPWT is becoming a new and effective therapeutic method in treatment of septic complications of patients after rectal surgery.

ABSTRACT The efficacy of linezolid and temporin A in the prevention of prosthetic graft infection due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis with intermediate resistance to glycopeptides was investigated in a subcutaneous rat pouch model. Linezolid and temporin A, alone or combined, greatly reduced the bacterial numbers compared to the effect with control drugs.

Background: Graft infection after vascular prosthetic reconstruction for the treatment of peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) is a rare but severe complication with poor outcome. The options for surgical treatment are not uniformly accepted and remain controversial. Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed the histories of 30 patients treated for prosthetic graft infection (Szilagyi grade III) in our hospital between 1994 and 1999 to determine which forms of treatment were best suited for which types of patient. In the majority of cases the initial treatment was lower-extremity bypass surgery. The most frequent location of infection was the groin (73%). Staphylococci (13% of which were methicillin resistant) were the most common type of bacteria. The overall incidence of prosthetic infection was 2.3%. Results: After confirmation of the infection by computed tomography (CT) or white blood cell scintigraphy, one of the following 5 forms of surgical treatment was performed: 1. Removal of the infected prosthesis and its simultaneous replacement by an autologous vein bypass. 2. Bypass removal and secondary replacement by an autologous vein. 3. Extra-anatomical replacement. 4. Graft removal and primary amputation. 5. Local therapy with debridement and secondary wound healing. In some patients primary amputation after graft infection was necessary to prevent further deterioration with fulminant sepsis. The overall mortality was 17%, the amputation rate was 60%. Conclusions: The best results were achieved by early complete removal of the alloplastic material and one-step replacement by either an autologous vein or extra-anatomic bypass. This resulted in a limb salvage rate of 54% and 40% and mortality rates of 9% and 0%, respectively.
