Intra-Cavity Lavage and Wound Irrigation for Prevention of Surgical Site Infection: Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis

Howard Thom et al.

Summary: A network meta-analysis of 42 RCTs found that antibiotic and antiseptic irrigation had the lowest odds of surgical site infections (SSIs). However, there is high heterogeneity and bias in the studies, calling for the need for large-scale RCTs to establish the standard of care for SSI prevention through site irrigation.
