Abstract

The use of antibiotic prophylaxis in oncological pharyngeal and laryngeal surgery has reduced the risk of postoperative wound infection, which decreases morbidity and health-care costs. We report the results of a prospective randomized study in our hospital comparing the effectiveness of two antibiotic protocols, amoxicillin-clavulanate and clindamycin plus gentamicin, both given for 24 hours, in patients who underwent clean-contaminated oncological surgery of the pharynx or larynx.
