Prophylatic Effect Preoperative Antibiotics With Mechanical Bowel Preparation in SSIs

Summary

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a major postoperative complication after abdominal surgery especially in colorectal field, which significantly increases length of stay (LOS), readmission incidence and expense. Therefore, identification of the effective method to reduce SSI incidence is critically important. Combination of oral antibiotics and mechanical bowel preparation was reported with lower SSIs and LOS in some retrospecitve data analysis, however a prospective randmized controlled trial was absent. Herein, the current randomized controlled trial comparing MBP+OA with MBP alone in postoperative complications in order to guide clinical practise was conducted.
