Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine optimal prophylactic antibiotics administration method in elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Clinical Details

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial of Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Elective Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery: Oral and Systemic Versus Systemic Antibiotics

Study design: Prevention, Randomized, Open Label, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Efficacy Study

Primary outcome: Incidence and classification of surgical site infection (SSI)

Secondary outcome: Incidence of colitis, other infectious diseases and other postoperative complications.

Detailed description: The use of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients who undergo elective colorectal surgery is now accepted universally. But the rout of administration should be systematic, oral, or both is controversial. Furthermore, although many trails have been performed, no trial limited to

laparoscopic surgery is performed. We compare 2 approaches - oral and systemic versus

systemic antibiotic prophylaxis - in limited to elective laparoscopic colorectal surgery.
