- Abstract
- To confirm the benefits of short term perioperative chemoprophylaxis a
prospective randomized comparative study was performed. The patients admitted for elective
gastroduodenal or biliary tract surgery had been enrolled. The patients were given two different
antibiotic regimens; cefazolin (I) or combination of penicillin and gentamicin (II), for three
different periods starting preoperatively; 1 day (group A), 3 days (group B) and 5 to 7 days
(group C). The each group of patients was similar in terms of age, sex, weight, duration of
operation, preoperative hospital days and distribution of disease and operation. The rate of
infection was 5.1% (5/99) in group A, 7.7% (8/104) in group Band 6.9% (7/101) in group C.
No significant difference was found between cefazolin alone (5.8%) and penicillin plus gentamicin
(7.3%) in the rate of infection. This result suggests that there is no benefit from
continuing antibiotic administration beyond the day of operation in preventing infectious complication
after clean contaminated operation.
