Abstract:
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the safety and efficacy of cefoxitin in preoperative prophylaxis of acute nonperforated, appendicitis. During twelve consecutive months, a single i.v. dose of cefoxitin was administered to 151 patients suffering from nonperforated appendicitis. The study confirms the preoperative prophylaxis with cefoxitin used regularly with patients who are undergoing an appendicectomy.
