Abstract:
The results of operative use of clindamycin and netilmycin (1st group), piperacillin (2d group), in comparison to the standard protocol (carbenicillin and its combination with gentamicin) in 103 patients operated on rectal and colonic cancer are discussed. The rate of postoperative complications was 2.3% (1st groups), 5.3% (2d groups) vs. 37.1% (control group). The authors advocate the proposed protocols of antibacterial prophylaxis of rectal and colonic cancer.
