Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent hysterectomy at a single institution between January 2020 and June 2022. The primary outcome was surgical site infection.

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.
