title: [Antibiotic therapy in ambulatory surgery].
abstract: Antibiotic therapy in outpatient surgical care is reviewed. In the first section some skin and soft-tissue infections are discussed, where antibiotics are likely to achieve clinical cure. In the second section we examine, where surgical treatment alone is essential for successful eradication of the infection. Wound management, where antibiotics are still controversial, is mentioned in the last section. Some pharmacological data on the discussed antibiotics are given.
