Abstract
Infection of the incised skin or soft tissue is a common but potentially avoidable complication of any surgical procedure. Some bacterial contamination of a surgical site is inevitable, either from the patient’s own bacterial flora or from the environment [1]. The goals of prophylactic administration of antibiotics to surgical patients are:
-
To reduce the incidence of surgical site infection
-
To minimize adverse effects and antibiotic effects on the patient’s normal bacterial flora
-
To use antibiotics in a manner that is supported by evidence and effectiveness
