[Comparative study of tinidazole and ornidazole for the prevention of septic complications of colonic surgery].

In a previous comparative study, authors have proved the significantly reduction of post-operative infections under elective colonic surgery by a preventive treatment with ornidazole IV (versus placebo). They have compared preventive effect of tinidazole IV short treatment (1,60 g in 24 h) and ornidazole (4 g in 4 days) in 2 randomised groups each of 20 patients. The same incidence of post-operative complications suggest an equal efficacy of two treatments.
