Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining the effect of prophylactic antibiotics and the incidence of surgical site infection in elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery in low-risk patients.
Design
A randomized controlled trial, Two-arm, parallel-group, phase 3, with blinded intervention and outcome assessment, on 122 patients. Randomization with permuted block randomization method.
Settings and conduct
All patients will be subjected to classic laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the 4-port method under direct supervision or by the university attendant at the educational center of Imam Reza Hospital. The preparation of the operation site will be performed according to the instructions of the operating room of Imam Reza (AS) hospital and with a 10% iodine solution. Gallbladder will be removed directly through the epigastric port. The duration of the operation, the opening of the gallbladder and the insertion of the drain during the operation will be recorded for each patient. After the operation, the patients will be discharged until significant recovery of pain and tolerance of the diet and if there is no fever and the wound is clean, with or without dressing, and according to the opinion of the respective attending physician. In this study, blinding will be double-blind, so that the patient and the person who collects the information (surgical resident) will not know about the group allocation.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
All patients over the age of 18 who are candidates for laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to symptomatic gallstones, gall bladder polyps, chronic cholecystitis, or a history of biliary pancreatitis.
Intervention groups
Patients will be placed in the intervention group in the form of one gram of intravenous cefazolin in the serum received before the surgical incision or no prophylaxis. The control group will receive serum that does not contain antibiotics (placebo).
