Resumen

Las complicaciones del sitio quirúrgico (CSQ) tienen un gran impacto en cualquier intervención y continúan siendo una causa significativa de hospitalización prolongada, morbilidad e incluso mortalidad. Consecuencias como el aumento de la estancia hospitalaria, la necesidad de cuidados continuos o el reingreso, no solo dificultan la recuperación temprana del paciente, sino que impactan negativamente en los costes del sistema de salud. Para reducir estas complicaciones en la región inguinal tras una cirugía vascular, es fundamental el manejo cuidadoso de los tejidos, la higiene de la herida en cada cura, la optimización de las comorbilidades, la profilaxis antibiótica y el control de la hipotermia y la hiperglucemia.

ABSTRACT: 

Surgical site complications (SSCs) have a significant impact on surgical outcomes and remain a major cause of prolonged hospitalization, morbidity, and mortality. Consequences such as extended length of stay, the need for continuous care, and readmission rates not only hinder early recovery but also impose a substantial economic burden on the healthcare system. To mitigate wound complications in the inguinal region following vascular surgery, key strategies include meticulous tissue handling, wound hygiene at each dressing change, optimization of comorbidities, prophylactic antibiotic administration, and the prevention of hypothermia and hyperglycemia
