Clinical Question: Do antiseptics and antibiotics benefit surgical wounds healing by secondary intention (SWHSI)?
Bottom Line: No high-quality randomized clinical trials have addressed this question. Current evidence is limited and insufficient; it is uncertain whether treating SWHSI with antiseptics or antibiotics is beneficial.

The use of culture-guided postoperative antibiotic treatment and adequate management of the wound must be addressed.
