Breast Augmentation, Antibiotic Prophylaxis, and Infection: Comparative Analysis of 1,628 Primary Augmentation Mammoplasties Assessing the Role and Efficacy of Antibiotics Prophylaxis Duration

摘要

Background Infections after augmentation mammoplasty are not uncommon, and prophylactic antibiotics are routinely administered to minimize infection. However, there is paucity of information on the relationship between the length of prophylaxis cover and its benefits in primary augmentation mammoplasty. A retrospective analysis of different antibiotic cover regimens, their effectiveness in preventing infections, and the management of infection in established cases is reviewed.
