Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Intraoperative area irrigation

After colorectal cancer surgery, flush the surgical area with chlorhexidine solution 1 minute before suturing the skin. According to abdominal cavity contamination, bleeding and tumor invasion to determine the flushing time and flush fluid volume. If the abdominal cavity infection is more serious or exudate more, the flushing time can be relatively prolonged. At last, there were no obvious blood residue, tissue fragments and suppurative secretions in abdominal cavity. Ensure that the surgical field of vision is clear, the surface of each organ is smooth, and there is no abnormal exudate.
