The effect of prophylactic antibiotic administration for endometriosis surgery

Infectious complications were rare among patients undergoing MIS for endometriosis. The higher prevalence of infection among patients who received antibiotics likely reflects more severe endometriosis and higher surgical complexity in these cases. No infections in the no-antibiotics group suggest that prophylaxis may be safely omitted in simpler cases. A larger, prospective study is needed to investigate further the potential benefit of antibiotic prophylaxis in more complex endometriosis surgeries.
