Abstract

Introduction: Prophylactic antibiotics are antibiotics given to patients undergoing surgery to prevent infection due to surgery. Surgical site infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs when microorganisms from the skin, other body parts, or the environment enter the postoperative incision. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between preoperative antibiotics and the occurrence of SSI. Methods: This study used cross-sectional and analytical observational research design. Secondary data collection from medical records of appendectomy surgery patients with a history of antibiotic use at Jemursari Islamic Hospital, Surabaya, Indonesia in 2017-2019 was used. Results: Of the 138 subjects, the antibiotics used were 128 (93 %) cephalosporins and 10 (7 %) metronidazole. In the cephalosporin type, ceftriaxone was the most widely used antibiotic (95/128, 74.2 %). The incidence of SSI in patients after appendectomy was six patients (8 %), while 132 patients (92 %) did not experience SSI. Of 128 patients given cephalosporin prophylactic antibiotics, 122 patients (95.3 %) did not experience SSI, and six patients (4.7 %) experienced SSI after appendectomy. Meanwhile, in 10 patients who were given metronidazole prophylactic antibiotics, it was found that all (100 %) did not have SSI. Statistical analysis showed no relationship between the type of pre-operative antibiotics and the occurrence of SSI (p=1). Conclusion: Pre-operative administration of antibiotics can prevent the occurrence of SSI in patients after appendectomy.
