[Prevention of infection in neurosurgery].
The dangers connected with postoperative wound infection, especially in neurosurgery, are discussed, together with various methods of reduction in the pertinent literature and used in various clinical centres. The review shows that properly used perioperative prophylaxis has reduced markedly the incidence of wound infection, even to zero in elective clean neurosurgical operations. The antibiotics used for this purpose are described, and indications are given concerning the selection of proper antibiotics.
