                            <p>ObjectivePatient skin is a major source for pathogenicmicroorganisms. Before surgery, it is a standardmethod to clean the skin with antiseptics and removethese pathogens from the surgical area. Chlorhexidinegluconate (CG) and Povidone iodine (PI) are twodifferent antiseptics recommended for this purpose.Although there are many studies showing theeffectiveness of these antiseptics in contaminatedsurgeries, studies reporting their effectiveness in cleansurgeries are limited. In this study, it was aimed tocompare the effectiveness of chlorhexidine gluconateon surgical site infection with povidone iodine in primarytotal knee arthroplasty, which is a clean surgery.Material and MethodThe data of a total of 245 primary total kneearthroplasty patients who used CG (110 patients) andPI (135 patients) for surgical site skin cleansing wereanalyzed. The patients were divided into 2 groups asKG group and PI group according to the antisepticused. Demographic characteristics of the groups weresimilar (p&amp;gt;0.05). In the KG group, swab samples takenfrom the surgical field before and after surgery weremicrobiologically examined and the immediate efficacyof chlorhexidine gluconate on surgical site asepsiswas evaluated as the primary outcome of the study.Complication of infection in the surgical field in bothgroups; superficial infection (minor complication) anddeep infection (major complication) were recorded.As a secondary outcome of the study, surgical sitecomplications were compared between both groups.ResultsAt least one pathogenic microorganism was grown inall swab samples taken from the surgical area beforethe use of CG, while there was no growth in any of theswab samples taken after using CG. Complications ofthe surgical field in the KG and PI groups, respectively;minor complications (4.54% vs. 5.18%) and majorcomplications (0.9% vs. 1.8%) were found. Therewas no statistically significant difference between thegroups in terms of minor and major complications(p&amp;gt;0.05). In the primary result of the study, whenchlorhexidine gluconate is used in primary totalknee arthroplasty, it creates complete asepsis in thesurgical field, and as a secondary result, there is nodifference between the groups in the comparison ofchlorhexidine gluconate with povidone iodine in termsof its effectiveness in surgical site infection.ConclusionThis study is one of the rare studies evaluating theefficacy of antiseptics in primary total knee arthroplasty,which is a clean surgery. When chlorhexidinegluconate is used in primary total knee arthroplasty,it creates complete asepsis in the surgical area and isas effective as povidone iodine in preventing surgicalsite infection.</p></trans-abstract>

Cerrahi öncesinde, cilt temizliğinin antiseptiklerleyapılarak bu patojenlerin cerrahi alandan uzaklaştırılmasıstandart bir yöntemdir. Klorheksidin glukonat(KG) ve Povidon iyot (Pİ) bu amaç için önerileniki farklı antiseptiktir. Bu antiseptiklerin kontamine cerrahilerdekietkinliğini gösteren çok sayıda çalışma olmasınarağmen, temiz cerrahilerdeki etkinliğini bildirençalışmalar kısıtlıdır. Bu çalışmada, temiz cerrahi olanprimer total diz artroplastisinde klorheksidin glukonatıncerrahi alan enfeksiyonuna etkinliğinin povidon iyot ilekarşılaştırılması amaçlandı.Gereç ve YöntemCerrahi alan cilt temizliğinde KG (110 hasta) ve Pİ(135 hasta) kullanılan toplam 245 primer total diz artroplastisihastasının verileri incelendi. Hastalar kullanılanantiseptiğe göre KG grubu ve Pİ grubu olarak 2gruba ayrıldı. Grupların demografik özellikleri benzerdi(p&amp;gt;0,05). KG grubunda, cerrahi alandan cerrahi öncesive sonrasında alınan sürüntü örnekleri mikrobiyolojikolarak incelendi ve çalışmanın birincil sonucuolarak KG’nin cerrahi alan asepsisine anlık etkinliğideğerlendirildi. Her iki grupta cerrahi alanda gelişenenfeksiyon komplikasyonu; yüzeyel enfeksiyon (minörkomplikasyon) ve derin enfeksiyon (majör komplikasyon)olarak kaydedildi. Çalışmanın ikincil sonucu olarakcerrahi alan komplikasyonları her iki grup arasındakarşılaştırıldı.BulgularKG kullanılmadan önce cerrahi alandan alınan sürüntüörneklerinin hepsinde en az bir patojen mikroorganizmaürerken, KG kullanıldıktan sonra alınan sürüntüörneklerinin hiçbirinde üreme olmadı. KG ve Pİ grubundacerrahi alan komplikasyonları sırasıyla; minörkomplikasyonlar (%4,54 ve %5,18) ve majör komplikasyonlar(%0,9 ve %1,8) olarak bulundu. Minör vemajör komplikasyonlar açısından gruplar arasındaistatistiksel anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p&amp;gt;0,05). Çalışmanınbirincil sonucunda, primer total diz artroplastisindeklorheksidin glukonat kullanıldığında cerrahi alandatam bir asepsi oluşturmaktadır ve ikincil sonuç olarakcerrahi alan enfeksiyonuna etkinliği açısından klorheksidinglukonatın povidon iyot ile karşılaştırılmasındagruplar arasında fark olmadığı sonucu elde edildi.SonuçBu çalışma temiz cerrahi olan primer total diz artroplastisindeantiseptiklerin etkinliğini değerlendiren nadirçalışmalardan biridir. Primer total diz artroplastisindeklorheksidin glukonat kullanıldığında cerrahi alandatam bir asepsi oluşturmaktadır ve cerrahi alan enfeksiyonunuönlemede povidon iyot gibi etkindir.</p></abstract>
