Randomized control trial on perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis in live liver donors: Are three doses enough?

Sahil Gupta et al.

Summary: This study found that three doses of perioperative antibiotics were equally effective as nine doses in preventing infective complications in live liver donor hepatectomy recipients. There were no significant differences in terms of complications, liver function, leukocyte count, international normalized ratio, hospital stay, and cost between the two groups.

Three-day postoperative antibiotics reduces post-hepatectomy infection rate in hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma

Zebin Chen et al.

Summary: The study suggests that postoperative antibiotic use is significantly associated with a lower incidence of postoperative infection in HBV-related HCC patients, especially for those with high albumin-bilirubin scores, at BCLC stage B-C, or who underwent major hepatectomy. Additionally, a 3-day antibiotic regimen appears to be the most effective in reducing postoperative infection rates.

Systematic reviews in surgery-recommendations from the Study Center of the German Society of Surgery

Eva Kalkum et al.

Summary: Systematic reviews in surgery require a methodological approach and should search databases like MEDLINE (via PubMed), Web of Science, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL). Critical appraisal, including blinding, industry involvement, surgical experience, and standardization of surgical technique, is essential. The random-effects model is recommended due to clinical heterogeneity among surgical trials, and adherence to these recommendations can lead to high-quality surgical systematic reviews.
