Primary outcomePrimary: Number of Patients With Body Mass Index (BMI) Over 25 Who Developed Surgical Site Infection (SSI) in Groups Who Received Antibiotic Prophylaxis (Prophylaxis Group) and no Prophylaxis (No Prophylaxis Group). — 9; 25 participants
Summary
This is a single center trial to compare the rate of surgical site infection (SSI) in normal (BMI equal to or less than 25; Control Group)) and overweight (BMI over 25) women who are undergoing breast cancer surgery. The overweight patients are further randomized into two groups; in one group patients receive prophylactic antibiotics (ampicillin/sulbactam; Prophylaxis Group), in the other they do not (No Prophylaxis Group).
