Article Synopsis
- - This study tested whether using intra-wound vancomycin reduces post-surgery infections by comparing two groups: one that received the drug and another that did not.
- - A total of 375 patients were analyzed for surgical site infections (SSI) after three months, with similar infection rates in both treatment (12 cases) and control groups (11 cases), indicating no significant benefit from vancomycin.
- - The findings suggest that intra-wound vancomycin does not lower SSI rates and may even lead to a higher occurrence of gram-negative bacterial infections.
