“…Oral antibiotic bowel preparation is used by only 11%. Other surveys have shown a similar picture in European, Asian and Australasian studies with high use of MBP in rectal surgery and a low rate of oral antibiotic usage [10][11][12][13][14]. This contrasts with patterns of practice in the USA, where surgeons have a high use of both MBP and oral antibiotics [15][16][17].…”

“…Reports of Switzerland and New Zealand are more in line with the recommendations to abandon the practice, with less than half of doctors reporting the use of preparation in colon procedures. However, even in these countries, the use of preparation is common during anorectal surgeries (60-80%) (26)(27) .…”

Objective:To identify the occurrence of surgical site infection (SSI) and its risk factors in patients undergoing colon surgery in a tertiary hospital located in the countryside of the state of São Paulo. Method: Retrospective cohort study, with collection of information contained in the medical records of patients undergoing colon surgery in the period between January 2010 and December 2013. The studied variables were the possible risk factors related to the patient, to demographic characteristics and the surgical procedure. Results: In total, were evaluated 155 patients with an overall SSI incidence of 16.7%. A statistically significant association was found both in the univariate as in the multivariate analysis between the SSI and the following variables: male gender, Charlson index and mechanical bowel preparation. Conclusion: The understanding of health professionals about the factors that influence the incidence of SSI in colon surgery may contribute to the quality of care provided to surgical patients, from effective actions to minimize the risk of infections.

“…Despite the evidence regarding a lack of benefit from MBP in improved patient outcomes, a high percentage of colorectal surgeons still routinely use MBP [15][16][17]. Their preference may now be supported by a recent study reporting on a 10-year follow-up of a cohort of patients randomized to receive MBP or no MBP while undergoing colonic resection for colorectal cancer.…”

“…Highquality evidence does not support the use of MBP [14]. Despite these data, surveys in the fields of gynecologic and colorectal surgery report a high percentage of surgeons still routinely use bowel preparation [15][16][17][18].…”
