A comparison of vulvar surgery outcomes after prophylactic antibiotic use

RBReece Burns AEAdrienne EspositoUniversity of Iowa JKJennifer KeomanyUniversity of Kansas

Key Points

To evaluate the impact of prophylactic antibiotics on postoperative outcomes after vulvar surgery.
Conducted a randomized controlled trial
Compared outcomes of patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics to those not receiving antibiotics
Measured infection rates and postoperative complications
No significant difference in postoperative infection rates between the two groups
Complications did not vary significantly with antibiotic use

Abstract

Postoperative infection and other complications were not significantly altered by the use of prophylactic antibiotics. A randomized controlled trial comparing prophylactic antibiotic use to no antibiotic use at time of vulvar surgery is a warranted next step.
