Abstract

Surgical site infections (SSIs) pose severe burden in healthcare, specially in laparoscopic surgeries. It,s the leading cause of morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The reason to improve this strategy is to enhance SAP practices for laparoscopic surgery by evaluating different antibiotics prophylaxis. Conducting a thorough examination on the basis of vast studies results in effective SAP implications to rule out laparoscopic surgeries leading to reduce SSI effort and safety of patient. Our research put great significance on customized approaches to SAP. In addition to SAP,various factors such as the kind of procedure, patient-specific risks, antimicrobial resistance and other preventive measures,such as surgical site antiseptics and glycemic control, RCS is also important in preventing SSIs. In addition to SAP, surgical techniques, postoperative care, and stewardship after administration outside the operative suite are needed. High-quality studies in diverse populations and development of standardized SAP protocols are warranted to optimize patient outcomes. To sum up this discussion , this chronological review gives esteemed awareness into improving SAP procedures for laparoscopic surgery. By amalgamating evidence-based guidelines and promoting effective antibiotic management , physicians and surgeons can contribute to reducing SSIs and ameliorate patient safety worldwide.
