Objective: To assess the practice of prophylactic antibiotic use and associated factors in open gastroenterology surgeries at BMC Design: A cross-section study design was used. The information was obtained directly at the surgical procedure within the hospital premises. The project duration was two months Results: All patients received preoperative antibiotics and all received combination of ceftriaxone and metronidazole and all of them received within one hour before skin incision. 3.77% patients received intraoperative antibiotics and almost all patients received postoperative antibiotics 98.11%, majority 88.68% received for more or equal to five days. Most of Patients 96.23% were given a combination of ceftriaxone and metronidazole. The study participants were followed on the outcome post-surgery, 81.13% were discharged, 16.98% were still in the ward, 1.89% died and only 1.89% developed SSI. Conclusion: From this study it has been concluded that the practice of prophylactic antibiotic use both pre-operatively, per-operatively and post-operatively is good which on the other hand has led to reduced incidence of SSI.
