[Strategies in antibiotic prophylaxis in abdominal hysterectomy].
The following study presents the high effectiveness of the short-term antibiotic prophylaxis versus long-term in elective abdominal hysterectomy. The authors compare two groups of 68 patients each for a period of 10 months. In the first group 67 patients have received one antibiotic and one--a combination of two antibiotic per 24 hours. In the second group 66 patients have received one antibiotic and two patients--a combination of two antibiotics for a period of 3 days. The two groups were compared using two clinical characteristics--axillary temperature and pulse, and also postoperative complications--vulnerary infections (parametrial, subfascial, and subcutaneous) The results demonstrate that in these cases the short-term antibiotic prophylaxis has higher effectiveness than the long-term one in the prevention of febrile complications and postoperative infections.
