RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To discuss about the meaning of short-range application of gynecological perioperative antibacterials and its efficacy of infection prevention. METHODS: 100 cases of type Ⅰ & Ⅱ incision selective operations during Jun.～Nov., 2006 (control group) and 105 cases during Jun.～Nov., 2007 (short-range group) were collected and analyzed in respect of hospitalization time, hospitalization time after operation, applying time of antibacterials, cost of antibacterials, variety of antibacterials and post-operation infection. RESULTS: In short-rang group costs and applying time of antibacterials reduced significantly, which were significantly different from that in control group. No significant difference was noted in cases of post-operation infection. CONCLUSION: There is no significant difference between short-range medication and long-range medication for preventing infection of gynecological type Ⅰ & Ⅱ incision selective operation.
