Summary

The increase HIV infections will lead to large numbers of HIV-positive patients undergoing surgery. In 1987, 62 (3%) of 2043 patients in our outpatient department for general surgery were HIV-positive; five had manifest AIDS. Patient data: median age 33; 55 males; 17 drug dependent. Diagnoses: 22 abscesses; 19 skin or lymph node biopsies; 11 cases of proctologic disease. Therapy: 38 operations on an outpatient basis; 12 admissions to the hospital. Thus caps, glasses, surgical masks, gowns and gloves should be worn during surgery if contact with mucosa or body fluids of the patient is possible.
