Brief summary

Currently there is little consensus regarding postoperative antibiotic prophylactic treatment and its effect on the postoperative infection rate after Cochlear implantation. The literature on this subject is contradictory, and very limited. The aim is to assess the impact of postoperative antibiotic treatment on post-operative infection rate, and thereby discuss if postoperative antibiotic treatment has any benefits in the preventing treatment against infectious complication.
