    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Infectious Diseases
    • Pharmacology
    • Clinical Trials

    Context:

    • Colorectal surgery carries a significant risk of postoperative infections.
    • Optimizing perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is crucial for patient outcomes and healthcare economics.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and economic viability of a specific parenteral antibiotic prophylaxis regimen in colorectal surgery.
    • To analyze the impact of timing and duration of antibiotic administration on infection rates.

    Summary:

    • A study involving 32 patients undergoing colorectal surgery evaluated a prophylaxis regimen using Cephalothin/Cefazolin and Metronidazole.
    • Most patients experienced no significant complications; minor issues included wound suppuration and urinary tract infections unrelated to prophylaxis.
