Post operative Fever
• T>38 oC : common in the first few days
• Early: 1. inflammatory stimulus of surgery (most) resolve
spontaneousely2. Manifestation of a serious complication
![Page 3: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Pathophysiology of postoperative fever• various stimuli tissue trauma cytokine release
(IL1,6,TNF, IFN-gamma) FEVER
• Bacterial endotoxins and exotoxins stimulate cytokines postoperative fever

Causes of postoperative fever
![Page 5: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
1. Non infectious causesa) Surgical site inflammation without infection
(Hematoma,Suture reaction)
b) Thrombosis (DVT, Pulmonary emboli)
c) Inflammatory (gout, pancreatitis)
d) Vascular (cerebral infarction, ICH, SAH,MI, Bowel ischemia/infarction)
e) Other (medications,transfusion reaction,drug/alcohol withdrawal, cancer/neoplastic fever)

Timing of Fever1. Immediate: in the operating room or within hours
after surgery
2. Acute: within the first week after surgery
3. Subacute: 1-4w after surgery
4. Delayed: > 1m after surgery
![Page 8: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
1-Immediatea) Medications or blood products
b) Trauma (before surgery or as a part of surgery)
c) Infections before surgery
d) Malignant hyperthermia (rare) (inhaled anesthetics, succinylcholine)
![Page 9: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2. Acute• Nosocomial infections:

4. DelayedMost of them are due to infection
• Viral and parasitic infections from blood products (CMV, Hepatitis viruses, HIV, Toxo, Babesios, Plasmodium Malariae)
• SSI due to more indolent MO (CONS)
• IE (due to perioperative bacteremia)

SURGICAL SITE INFECTION AFTER
GYNECOLOGIC SURGERY
![Page 18: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SSIs associated with hysterectomy
1. Vaginal cuff cellulitis
2. vaginal cuff abscess
3. pelvic abscess
![Page 19: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SSIs associated with hysterectomy• source of pathogens : endogenous microbiota of
the vagina
• The normal vaginal microbiota: • Lactobacilli: produce both hydrogen peroxide and lactic
acid protect against the overgrowth of pathogens in the vagina
• Streptococci• G. Vaginalis• Enterobacteriaceae• Anaerobes
![Page 20: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SSIs associated with hysterectomy
• Excision of the cervix breached vaginal epithelium MO gain entry to the vaginal cuff, paravaginal tissues, and peritoneal cavity
![Page 21: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cuff Cellulitis
![Page 22: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cuff Cellulitis• inflammatory response at the margins of the vaginal
cuff incision
• a normal part of the healing process in the early posthysterectomy Period
• Host defense mechanisms quickly resolve it in most patients without the need for AB
![Page 23: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Cuff Cellulitis• Clinical Findings in patients require AB• present within 10 d after surgery• central lower abdominal and pelvic pain• vaginal discharge• low-grade fever• Abdominal examination: slight suprapubic tenderness to deep
palpation• bimanual examination only the vaginal surgical margin is
tender and no masses are palpable
![Page 24: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cuff Cellulitis• Treatment:• OPT with AB regimen that includes coverage for anaerobic
MO 1. amoxicillin/clavulanic acid 2. the combination of Metronidazole +
• G1 cephalosporin • FQ • trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole
• monitor temperatures at home• clinical reevaluation if improvement in pain and T is not noted
by 72 h
![Page 25: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
vaginal cuff abscess
![Page 26: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
vaginal cuff abscess• A well-localized collection of pus just above the vaginal
cuff • develops in a few patients with cuff cellulitis
• CC: fever & sense of fullness (lower abdomen)
• PhE: Bimanual pelvic examination vaginal cuff mass
• Imaging: ultrasonography confirm the abscess
![Page 27: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
vaginal cuff abscess1. drainage facilitates cure
simply by dilation of the vaginal cuff in a treatment room
larger collections Sono or CT guided drainage or in the operating room
• culture (aerobic and anaerobic) purulent material• IV AB (Broad-spectrum) until defervescence for 24 to
36 h
![Page 28: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Pelvic Abscess
![Page 29: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Pelvic Abscess• Rare but the most serious late postop complication • Involve one or both residual adnexa (tubo-ovarian
abscess) • occur almost exclusively in premenopausal women• occur despite prophylactic AB• often have a latent period of many w between surgery
and onset of symptoms
![Page 30: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Pelvic Abscess• fever (high spike late in the afternoon or early
evening)
• palpable mass high in the pelvis
• WBC: around 20,000/mm
• ESR
![Page 31: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Pelvic Abscess
•Sono and CT :
1. confirm the presence of a mass
2. help to determine whether it is
• Loculated
• related to an intraperitoneal structure
• drainable percutaneously
![Page 32: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Pelvic Abscess• Immediate drainage is not mandatory if it is
inaccessible AB therapy alone may be successful
• isolation of β-lactamase–producing Prevotella species use of clindamycin, metronidazole, or other agents against gram-negative anaerobes
![Page 33: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Pelvic Abscess• clindamycin + gentamicin fails to respond drainage
• Necrosis+infections surgical exploration in some cases
• aerobic and anaerobic culture of purulent material or tissue
![Page 34: Jamal Mirzaei MD. MPH Infectious disease specialist Post Gynecologic Surgery Fever.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d6e5503460f94a4eb91/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Pelvic Abscess• Duration of AB therapy:
1. IV AB until • defervescence for 48-72 h• NL leukocyte count • Resolved signs and symptoms
2. PO AB for 7 d after discharge:• amoxicillin/clavulanate• Metronidazole
• reexamine 2 w after discharge R/O recurrence or reaccumulation of the abscess
