NCT ID NCT02618720
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding an oral antibiotic (ornidazole) the day before colorectal surgery to the standard IV antibiotic given at incision time could reduce surgical site infections within 30 days. Over 900 adults having elective colorectal surgery took part. The goal was to see if the combined approach works better than IV antibiotics alone.
