| Core Tip |
In the most cases of elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, there is a low possibility of septic complication development and no need for prophylactic antibiotics. In few patients with some well-defined risk factors for infection, including acute cholecystitis, the antibiotic prophylaxis before skin incision is necessary to minimize such complications. |
