NCT03759886

Brief Summary

The investigators perform a case-control study to compare preparation before elective colorectal surgery. The first group is a prospective patient - registry in all patients with mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) and oral antibiotic prophylaxis the day before colorectal surgery. The second group is a historic collective of patients with MBP only and colorectal surgery. The cases were matches in American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system, BMI, operative procedure and risk factors.
