Summary

To Compare between outcomes of Antibiotic Prophylaxis and No antibiotic prophylaxis in non-complicated low risk laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Detailed description

There is no doubt that Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the surgery of choice in cholelithiasis \[1\]. Routine antibiotic prophylaxis in LC decreases the rate of intra and post operative infections specifically the Surgical site infection (SSI) \[2\]. However, the rate of antibiotic side effects remains considerable, mainly antibiotic resistance to the commonly used antibiotics as Cefoperazone and other antibiotics used in routine prophylaxis \[3\]. So Some studies proved that No need for antibiotic prophylaxis \[4\]. In spite, no antibiotic prophylaxis may lead to infections mainly SSI and prolongation of hospitalization time \[5\]. However None of these studies has proved Superiority over the other and stills a matter of controversy \[6\]. For this reason more efforts are directed to limit the use of antibiotic in non complicated low risk laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Prophylaxis in this study is directed to start from time of admission till 1 month post operative. In our study we Follow both outcomes to compare between both techniques
