متن کاملInfection after abdominal surgery: five year prospective study.
A total of 1504 consecutive abdominal operations were studied prospectively over a five year period.

It is difficult to justify modifying existing practice on the basis of small controlled clinical trials when information from accurate audit discloses results superior to those of expe...
