Antiseptics and Antibiotics for Surgical Wounds Healing by Secondary Intention: Summary of a Cochrane Review

Gillian Norman, Jo Dumville, Emma Crosbie

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Clinical Question: Do antiseptics and antibiotics benefit surgical wounds healing by secondary intention (SWHSI)?

Bottom Line: No high-quality randomized clinical trials have addressed this question. Current evidence is limited and insufficient; it is uncertain whether treating SWHSI with antiseptics or antibiotics is beneficial.
