Özet

Colorectal surgery is mostly applied for disorders and diseases of the colon, rectum, and anus. The most common pathologies that related to colorectal surgery are colorectal cancers, diverticular intestinal disorders, adhesions and strictures, pilonidal sinus, hemorrhoidal diseases, anal cancers, anal abscess, anal fissure and fistula, rectal prolapse, and rectocele. There are some postoperative complications about colorectal surgery, and these complications can cause to increase hospitalization and ventilation days, mortality rates, and costs. One of the important complications after colorectal surgery is infectious problems. Infectious complication rates are observed in <10% of patients with appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis, whereas 30–60% of patients do not receive appropriate prophylaxis. Fecal fistula, intra-abdominal abscesses, peritonitis, and septicemia are other infectious complications, but these are much less common. In this study, it is aimed to present the approach to fever and infectious complications that are seen after colorectal surgery.
