In a prospective study the authors report on their experience with preoperative bowel preparation using Metronidazole and Neomycin in combination with a low residue diet and orthograde cleaning of the bowel. They observed (elective surgery) wound infections in only 10%. Before this regimen was introduced the rate of wound infection came up to a percentage of 45.
