Studies on prophylactic antibiotics and surgical site infection have been widely carried out by researchers, with various focuses and approaches. However, still more needs to be done using a bibliometric study approach. The study used 711 Scopus databases and a wide variety of bibliometric indicators such as publication trends, citations, and author keywords. Bibliometric graphic visualization using VOSviewer software is also presented. The results show that there are 200 concepts divided into four research themes’ the latest topics agreed to adverse events, postoperative operations, and prescriptions. Meanwhile, issues and topics still need to be addressed related to oral drug administration, clinical practice, and guideline adherence. The bibliometric study helps provide a comprehensive and in-depth view of antibiotic prophylaxis and surgical site infection-themed research to researchers interested in discovering new knowledge and topics in this field.
