Multiple myeloma is a haematologic malignancy of the bone marrow with an increasing incidence, primarily affecting an elderly and frail population. It benefits from innovative treatments that have been shown to extend patient survival. However, 2% of patients die from infections during the first year of treatment, despite the availability of prophylactic treatments.

Aim: Vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) combines vaginal and laparoscopic techniques and is increasingly used in gynecologic surgery. Given the lack of standardized guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis, this review aims to evaluate infection rates, current prophylactic practices, and recommendations.
Method: A literature search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE and the Cochrane Library using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and keywords such as "v-NOTES," "infection," "prophylaxis," and "antibiotics".

Background: The practice of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent surgical site infection (SSI) in breast surgery remains debated. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the literature evaluating the current evidence on the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in nononcologic breast surgery, including risk-reducing mastectomy, gender-affirming mastectomy, augmentation, and reduction.
Methods: A literature search of PubMed and Cochrane databases of 1990-2025 was conducted to identify studies evaluating antibiotic prophylaxis and SSI outcomes in nononcologic breast surgery.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) is associated with a significant burden in orthopedic surgeries, leading to increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. Despite the widespread use of prophylactic antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection, the optimal duration for antibiotic administration remains controversial. Newer studies reported controversial results compared to existing guidelines; therefore, we aimed to compare the efficacy and post-operative complications of short-term (<24 hours) and extended oral antibiotics in reducing infection rates following orthopedic surgeries.
