“…The optimum time for prophylactic antibiotic administration is within an hour prior to the surgery, in order to reach the minimal inhibitory concentration in the end organs during the operation (44). In certain conditions such as prolonged surgical duration beyond the half-life of the antibiotic or when excessive blood loss occurs during the surgery, a second dose of antibiotic is required.…”

“…Over the last 50 years, numerous strategies have been used to reduce the risk of PJIs, including preoperative bacterial decolonization, incision site antisepsis, more intensive antimicrobial prophylaxis regimens, laminar airflow operating room environment, ultraviolet light in the operating room, antibiotic cement, antibiotic-impregnated closure material, intraoperative local antibiotic application, and contained surgeon exhaust suits, strategies that focus on optimizing the hospital environment and surgical technique [4,6,8,9,12,23]. In addition to these measures, there are patient-related and procedure-related factors that have been reported to increase the risk for PJI: diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, immune-compromised state, malignancy, corticosteroid use, obesity, tobacco use, emergent or semiemergent surgery, Staphylococcus aureus colonization, revision surgery, and operating time [1,25].…”

“…Moreover, they did not take into account the effects of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP) on the development of SSI after gastric surgery, and this might be one of most important risk factors. 11 We performed a prospective multicenter study of a large number of patients undergoing gastric surgery in Korea, to characterize SSI and identify the risk factors associated with SSI, including variables of SAP quality.…”
