[Prophylaxis of infectious complications in maxillo-facial surgery. Value of cefazolin. (A review of 400 cases)].
The value of short-term prophylaxis with antibiotics in maxillo-facial surgery and plastic facial surgery is studied. 200 patients were included in the study and compared to 200 controls who were given the usual systematic antibiotic therapy, with a different antibiotic, for more than 6 days. 400 case-reports were thus retrospectively analyzed. The results show that when the surgical procedure lasts for less than three hours, short-term prophylaxis with antibiotics is more effective than the usual systematic antibiotic therapy given for more than 6 days.
