[Antibioprophylaxis with cefazolin in gastroduodenal surgery: preliminary study (17 patients)].
Antibiotherapy in surgery leads to a large amount of money expenses from the budget of hospitals according to many authors. So a short time well adapted antibioprophylaxis may be a better choice in gastroduodenal surgery. In a two years (July 1991-June 1993) prospective study in seventeen patients with stenosis on hemorragea complicating their gastroduodenal ulcer, 2 grs of Cefazoline are prior to surgery at induction first and then 1 gr each following 3 hours, until the end of the procedure in Orthopedics and Traumatology Hospital in DAKAR. At assessment the early results are good, without any superficial or deep infection. In comparison the length of admission was shorter. Despite our few cases, we strongly believe that antibioprophylaxis in gastroduodenal surgery using Cefazolin may be recommended.
