This article on argues postop antibiotics do not meaningfully change post-op infection rates within 2y of surgery.

I included it in our /#neurotology journal club tomorrow because it argues for a different position than what I do. Minor quibbles aside, I found the article convincing. Particularly during a post- abx shortage, I think I have to abandon postop abx except in select otology cases.
