IntroductionVaginal prolapse surgery is at high risk of surgical site infections (SSI) because it's a "clean-contaminated surgery" and it's frequently associated with implantation of meshes.ObjectivesTo evaluate the rate of SSI and associated risk factors in vaginal prolapse surgery with mesh support.MethodsIn a retrospective unicenter study, two groups of patients were operated by vaginal route for a pelvic floor reconstructive surgery with mesh support. Colporraphy was made by classic surgical sutures non-coated (Monosyn(®) 3/0, B-Braun) in the first group, and surgical sutures coated with triclosan in the second group. We collected risk factors of SSIs using the procedure of the CCLIN and analyzed the occurrence of SSIs with a statistical comparative univariate analysis.ResultsStudy included 78 patients in the first group and 72 in the second group. SSIs total rate was 2.6 % (4 of 150), as part of 3 in the group with surgical sutures non-coated and one in the group with surgical sutures coated with triclosan (P=0.62).ConclusionIn our study, SSIs rate in vaginal prolapse surgery was twice higher than classic gynecologic surgery. As the interest of using a surgical suture coated with triclosan to reduce SSI has not been demonstrated statistically, we can't recommend it.Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS.
