Background: The present study was conducted for evaluating surgical site infection (SSI) in patients with endometrial cancer undergoing open surgery. Materials & methods:The present study was conducted in the Department of Microbiology and General surgery Department of Sukhsagar Medical college and Hospital Jabalpur, study included women with histologically verified endometrial cancer who underwent primary open surgery. Biochemical profile at the baseline and Perioperative period was done. In all the patients, total abdominal hysterectomy was performed. Antibiotic coverage was given intravenously half an hour before the abdominal incision. For a lengthy procedure, the prophylaxis was given every three hours. An infection at the surgical site that occurs within 30 days after the procedure was designated as SSI. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet followed by statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results: A total of 100 patients with endometrial cancer were enrolled. Blood transfusion was required in 20 percent of the patients. Overall, SSI was present in 13 percent of the patients. Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermides, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was seen in 30.77 percent, 15.38 percent, 30.77 percent, 15.38 percent and 7.69 percent of the patients with SSI respectively. Conclusion: SSI is a potential postoperative complication among patients with endometrial cancer undergoing open surgery. Hence; adequate history and knowledge of risk factors could help in reducing the incidence.
