Prophylactic Antibiotics in Plastic Surgery
Profylaktické použitie antibiotík v plastickej chirurgii
V súčasnosti neexistuje jednotný názor na profylaktické používanie antibiotík v plastickej chirurgii na prevenciu pooperačných infekčných komplikácií. Táto štúdia bola vypracovaná na zhodnotenie účinnosti profylaktického podávania antibiotík v plastickej chirurgii. Celkovo 500 prípadov bolo vyhodnotených a rozdelených do 3 skupín na základe ich diagnózy. Približne polovica prípadov dostala ako profylaxiu amoxycilín potencovaný kyselinou klavulánovou, druhá časť bola bez ATB profylaxie. V pooperačnom období bol sledovaný výskyt infekčných komplikácií. Vzhľadom k našim klinickým nálezom ATB profylaxiu v plastickej chirurgii nepovažujeme za nevyhnutnú vo všetkých prípadoch. Nenašli sme signifikantné rozdiely vo výskyte infekcie v skupine s ATB profylaxiou a v skupine bez nej.

Overview
There is no consensus on the use of prophylactic antibiotics in plastic surgery to prevent postoperative infection. This study was performed to investigate whether the use of prophylactic antibiotics has an effect on postoperative infection rate. A total of 500 patients were classified into 3 groups based on their diagnosis. Approximately half of the cases received amoxicilin/clavulanate combination the other half had no antibiotics. Wound infection was observed in the post operative period. According to our clinical findings, antibiotic prophylaxis is not necessary in plastic surgery in all patients. We did not find significant difference between the antibiotic prophylaxis and placebo group.
Key words:
prophylaxis – antibiotics – infection – plastic surgery
