The authors report their experience of antibiotic prophylaxis in elective biliary surgery pertinent to 246 operated patients treated with short-term prophylaxis with mezlocillin. This method has turned out to be efficacious in reducing postoperative infections incidence, particularly in simple cholecystectomy. Therefore the authors advise using such a procedure in this frequent operation too.
