Surgery prep showdown: can skipping the Clean-Out prevent infections?
NCT ID NCT03663504
Summary
This study aims to find the best way to prepare patients for elective colon surgery to reduce infections. It compares two common approaches: taking oral antibiotics the day before surgery versus doing no bowel preparation at all. Researchers will measure infection rates, hospital stay length, and patient recovery in 630 adults to see which method leads to better outcomes.
