title: [The correlation of bacteriobilia/wound infections in elective biliary surgery].
abstract: The authors report their experience concerning the cultural study of bile samples taken during elective biliary surgery. All the operations were carried out after a randomized preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis. Among the 138 cases examined the presence of surgical infections (wound infection) was taken into account. A lack of correlation between the germs present in the bile and those isolated from samples of complicated cases, was registered. However, the Authors emphasize that, although antibiotic prophylaxis gives a reduced percentage of postoperative infections, it is unable to sterilize the bile.
