Randomized Controlled Trial
Do we need postoperative antibiotics in supratentorial clean neurosurgery? A prospective, randomized, single-blind, and placebo-controlled study.
To assess the efficacy of postoperative antibiotics on postoperative infection in clean supratentorial craniotomies. ⋯ Our results showed that antibiotic prophylaxis after a clean supratentorial craniotomy has no effect on the prevention of postoperative infection and we do not suggest using antibiotic prophylaxis after clean supratentorial neurosurgery.
