title: [Short-term antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery].
abstract: This clinical study was carried out in our division on 106 patients undergoing surgery for various pathologies in the period from May to September 1991; the aim of this study was the evaluation of short-term antibiotic prophylaxis before and after surgery: either imipenem-cilastatin, or cephalosporin or no treatment. Imipenem-cilastatin was found to be the antibiotic of choice for short-term prophylaxis.
