Antibiotic dosing during liver and pancreas surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study checks if the standard dose of an antibiotic (piperacillin/tazobactam) reaches effective levels in the blood during major liver or pancreas surgery. The goal is to improve infection prevention after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You will receive an antibiotic called piperacillin/tazobactam during surgery to prevent infection.
- You do not have a known allergy to beta-lactam antibiotics (like penicillins).

This study looks at whether taking probiotics alongside antibiotics before and after surgery can help keep your gut bacteria healthy. It is for healthy adults having minor orthopedic surgery, like carpal tunnel or knee arthroscopy.
This trial tests whether using linezolid or vancomycin before surgery can better prevent infections at the surgical wound in people at higher risk. You might be considered because you either can’t take certain standard antibiotics (beta-lactams) and/or may carry MRSA bacteria.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a broad set of preventive antibiotics before certain high-risk orthopedic surgeries lowers the chance of serious wound or bone infection. It mainly targets people who have contaminated wounds, tumor-related surgery, or known high-risk germs on the skin.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics before liver or bile duct surgery can prevent wound infections in areas where bacteria are resistant to many antibiotics. You would receive antibiotics as a preventive measure and be monitored for any surgical site infections.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics for a longer time after pancreatic surgery helps prevent infections. If you had a stent placed to drain bile before surgery, you may be eligible.
This study tests whether a shorter course of antibiotics after Whipple surgery works as well as the standard longer course to prevent infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and side effects.
