Discussion

Observational study compares surgical site infection rates in elective surgeries with antibiotics, suggesting implications for antibiotic use.

Increased postoperative induration was observed in patients not receiving antibiotics, at 29.5% compared to 12.5%.
No significant difference in major surgical site infection rates was recorded between control and case groups at days 7, 14, and 30.
The study emphasizes the importance of appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis to mitigate early postoperative complications.
Future research is needed to clarify the role and guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis in clean elective surgical procedures.

Mishra et al. (2025) studied this question.
