title: [Experiences with perioperative short-term prevention in thoracic wall and colorectal surgery in children].
abstract: This is a report on prophylaxis with antibiotics in chest wall deformities and colorectal surgery in childhood. The analysis shows a significant reduction of wound infections and general infections after administration of Cefamandol (150 mg/kg in 4 doses) or Cefotaxim (100 mg/kg in 3 doses) and Metronidazol (25 mg/kg in 3 doses) for one day only, starting one hour before operation. The positive effect of prophylaxis with antibiotics in these operations is compared with results in the literature.
