N2  -  Surgical site infections (SSIs) are a frequent cause of morbidity following surgical procedures. Antimicrobial prophylaxis (AP) plays an important role in reducing SSIs and several Guidelines on AP were published in the last years. In this paper, we reviewed the controversial issues and the evidence from different Guidelines in selected surgical procedures such as hernia surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, breast surgery, oral prophylaxis in colorectal surgery and cesarean section. We also discussed the role of meta-analysis as evidence for a Guideline and some general principles of AP as well as ambiguities given with the definition of SSI and the classification of intraoperative bacterial contamination.
