Background:• Surgical resections of head and neck cancer
with one-stage reconstructions are long procedures with high risk of microbial contamination;
• Determination of contaminating factors and efficacy of aseptic procedures is vital for reduction of possible surgical complications.
Aim:
Define possible complications
Determinate contaminating factor
Improvetreatment
Aim of this study is to determinate amount and type of the surgical field contamination factors and to define possible complications that can occur after resection of advanced tumour of head and neck.
Materials and Methods
• Swabs were taken from surgical field and surgical drapes every 2 hours (at 0h, 2h, 4h, 6h);
• Samples were delivered to the laboratory immediately;
• To analize our results we have used Statistica.
• The prospective study, which was approved by Bioethical Committee;
• The study was performed during long time surgical resections with one-stage reconstruction;
Materials and Methods
Microbial culturing methods:• Blood agar plate – preliminary
culturing (24-48 h, 37 Degrees Centigrade, CO2 enhanced atmosphere if needed);
