Brief Summary

Surgical site infection (SSI) is a major postoperative complication after abdominal surgery especially in colorectal field, which significantly increases length of stay (LOS), readmission incidence and expense. Therefore, identification of the effective method to reduce SSI incidence is critically important. Combination of oral antibiotics and mechanical bowel preparation was reported with lower SSIs and LOS in some retrospecitve data analysis, however a prospective randmized controlled trial was absent. Herein, the current randomized controlled trial comparing MBP+OA with MBP alone in postoperative complications in order to guide clinical practise was conducted.

Study Arms (2)

oral antibiotics+mechanical bowel preparation

EXPERIMENTAL

Liquid diet and polyethylene glycol with 2L water was administrated orally 1 day before surgery. A combination of neomycin 1g and metronidazole 0.2g every 6 hours was also administrated. Enteroclysis was conduted for patients on surgical morning.

Drug: Neomycin,metronidazole

simple mechanical bowel preparation

NO INTERVENTION

Only liquid diet and polyethylene glycol with 2L water was administrated orally 1 day before surgery. Enteroclysis was conduted for patients on surgical morning.

Interventions

Orally intake neomycin 1g and metronidazole 0.2g four times before surgery

oral antibiotics+mechanical bowel preparation
