Abstract
A prospective study of 95 cholecystectomies was carried out to determine the incidence of postoperative sepsis and to evaluate the use of intraoperative gram stain of the bile. The incidence of wound infection was only 4.2 per cent but, as expected, it was increased in the presence of jaundice and possibly in advanced age. However, gram stain failed to predict accurately a positive bile culture in 42 per cent of cases, and positive bile culture failed to predict subsequent wound infection or septicemia.
