The purpose of this work was to compare the efficacy and safety of the collagen-gentamicin sponge with conventional treatment (wound open, maintaining a close observation, and cleaning it daily with antiseptics) for the prophylaxis of infection in "dirty" abdominal wounds. Seventy-three patients with dirty abdominal wounds caused by gastrointestinal tract surgery were studied. The patients were randomized in two groups: group A, open wounds, treated with local cleansing, metronidazole 20 to 40 mg/kg/day IV and gentamicin 5 mg/kg/day IV for 7 days.
