Infection is the major cause of morbidity following biliary surgery and it has been shown that the patients with infected bile can be detected preoperatively. This paper presents the results of a controlled trial comparing patients expected to have infected bile who received surgical treatment with and without antibiotic therapy. The results showed a reduction in the incidence and severity of complications in the treated group.
