Effectiveness of Single vs Multiple Doses of Prophylactic Intravenous Antibiotics in Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction A Randomized Clinical Trial

Jessica Gahm et al.

Summary: The findings of this prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial suggest that multiple-dose antibiotic prophylaxis is not superior to single-dose antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing surgical site infection (SSI) and implant removal after implant-based breast reconstruction. Moreover, multiple-dose antibiotic prophylaxis is associated with a higher risk of adverse events compared to the single-dose regimen.

Predictive Factors for Surgical Site Infections in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Breast Carcinoma

Jessica Pastoriza et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that mastectomy, diabetes, smoking, COPD, ASA class-severe, BMI >35 kg/m(2), and length of stay >1 day are associated with an increased odds ratio for SSI following breast surgery. Postoperative variables such as systemic infection, unplanned reoperation, wound dehiscence, and renal failure were also found to be associated with an increased odds ratio of SSIs.
