What the experts said
Surgical site infections are a major cause of perioperative morbidity in children undergoing colorectal surgery
The Western Pediatric Surgery Research Consortium conducted a prospective cohort study on children undergoing colorectal surgery across 10 hospitals in the US
The study utilized an 8-part perioperative care bundle
Children were split into either a high or low compliance group based on adherence to the care bundle
Children in the high compliance group had a statistically significant decrease in rates of superficial surgical site infection when compared to children in the low compliance group
Standardization of perioperative care may decrease morbidity and improve outcomes in colorectal surgery
