Abstract

With the use of prophylactic antibiotics in surgical procedures, the rate of wound infection has been decreased significantly compared to the pre antibiotic era. However, there is no consensus about the duration of antibiotic usage in different part of the world. Prolonged antibiotic usage may not only incur extra expenditure on the patient, along with the prolonged hospital stay, it also can be a potential risk for developing antibiotic resistance. This is a study, attempted to emphasize the optimal usage of antibiotic prophylaxis, by comparing a single day regimen versus a five day regimen.
