Summary
To determine the optimal prophylactic antibiotics administration method in elective colorectal surgery
Detailed description
Use of prophylactic antibiotics in elective colorectal surgery is essential. Although single-dose prophylactic antibiotics are recommended, the efficacy of single-dose cephalosporin without metronidazole and oral antibiotics is not fully proven. We conducted a multicenter randomized trial of single-dose vs. three doses of the second-generation cephalosporin, cefmetazole.
