Uniform prevention of postoperative infections has been introduced in the second half of 1998. Patients who underwent lung tissue resection were treated with the 2nd generation cephalosporin on the day of operation and every 8 hours within next 24 hours. Patients operated on trachea and oesophagus additionally received metronidazol. Those prevention methods were applied to 465 patients. Infections of postoperative wounds were observed only in 1.1% of patients, compared to 3.8% of patients in whom such infections were found before the beginning of the prophylactic regime.
