Antibiotic prophylaxis can lower the incidence of surgical wound infections, however antimicrobial abuse and overuse raises both the cost and the selection pressure that favours the growth of resistant bacteria. Our major goal was to investigate the use of prophylactic antibiotics in various procedures across a large number of patients. [1] A pre-tested proforma was completed, which contained information on patient characteristics, antimicrobial drug choice, route, timing, and total length of prophylaxis. Antibiotic prophylaxis was also evaluated in accordance with normal guidelines. Interventions are needed to encourage the creation, distribution, and implementation of evidence-based antimicrobial prophylactic guidelines. Findings support the use of antibiotics after surgery to prevent infections and corroborate the significance of SAP in lowering postoperative SSI across a variety of operations. The findings of this scoping review have added to the evidence base that can be used to help build global guidelines to prevent SSI. However, high-quality systematic reviews and research that encompasses a wide range of demographics and contexts are required. Surgical site infections (SSIs) are infections that appear within 30 days of an operation or surgical wound infection surveillance. The objective of this study was to assess preoperative and postoperative antimicrobial uses
