Role of antibiotics in clean wounds

J B Hedawoo et al. J Indian Med Assoc. 1995 Aug.

Abstract

Two hundred twenty cases with clean surgical wounds were treated without administering any antibiotics. Majority of them (134) were hydroceles and hernias. The study included some major operation also. The infection rate was 3.6% in the present series, which is comparable with the study where antibiotics were used.
