Single-dose versus short-course antibiotic prophylaxis in laparoscopic right hemicolectomy with intracorporeal anastomosis: a retrospective cohort study
A retrospective study compared single-dose versus short-course antibiotic prophylaxis for patients undergoing laparoscopic right hemicolectomy. The findings indicate that both protocols resulted in similar rates of surgical site infections in elective low-risk patients.
Why it matters
Optimizing antibiotic protocols can reduce unnecessary medication use and hospital costs without compromising patient safety in common surgical procedures.
