First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tested whether taking an oral antibiotic the day before colorectal surgery, in addition to standard IV antibiotics, reduces surgical site infections more than IV antibiotics alone. Over 900 adults having elective colorectal surgery participated. The goal was to see if the combined approach lowers infection rates within 30 days after surgery.
