There was significant dif-ference between the patients with or without infection post-operation in some factors, such as preoperative infection (pneumonia, urinary tract infection, intracranial infection, biliary infection);the operator;activities of daily living. It was 9.8%(6/61) under routine aseptic opera-tion, and was 0 (0/24) under intensive management.
