Abstract

No clear data exist as to the efficacious use of antibiotics during the perioperative period for repair of pressure ulcers. Results of a survey from 50 university departments of plastic surgery and spinal cord injury centers revealed that 58% reported routine use of antibiotics for flap surgery with cephalosporins as the choice at 69% of the centers. Clinical experience with 35 patients perioperatively showed good results with a third generation cephalosporin.
