About this study

Official title: Mechanical Bowel Preparation and Oral Antibiotic Prophylaxis vs. Mechanical Bowel Preparation in Colorectal Surgery With i.v. Antibiotic Prophylaxis

The investigators perform a case-control study to compare preparation before elective colorectal surgery. The first group is a prospective patient - registry in all patients with mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) and oral antibiotic prophylaxis the day before colorectal surgery. The second group is a historic collective of patients with MBP only and colorectal surgery. The cases were matches in American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system, BMI, operative procedure and risk factors.

Being tested
Paromomycin Sulfate Powder
