Description The authors did not observe an increase in the incidence of infectious complications following PB in past five years. Our standard antibiotic prophylaxis with fluorochinolone + metronidazol has proved to be still effective in more than 97% of PBs.On the other hand, in cases of failed prophylaxis, we noticed a substantial increase in the antibiotic resistance to the commonly used antibiotics. This should lead us to an aggressive treatment and early administration of wide spectrum antibiotics in patients suffering serious septic complications (meropenem,ceftazidime, tazobactam + ticarcilin).
