Abstract:
Objective To discuss the necessity of antibiotics usage in septoplasty , and to provide evidences for the standardization of the therapy and rational use of antibiotics in septoplasty. Methods Eighty-seven patients who had undergone septoplasty were randomly divided into three groups: Group A: without antibiotics; Group B: antibiotics only preoperative prophylaxis; Group C: antibiotics both preoperative and postoperative for five days. The clinical effect and complication rate were compared among three groups. Results There were no statistical significance among three groups for clinical effect and complication rate (P > 0.05). Conclusions The infection rate in septoplasty is very low , and the use of prophylactic antibiotics in elective septoplasty can neither improve efficacy nor reduce postoperative complications , so it is not essential.
