The use of tinidazole in the surgery of oral tumours

The oropharynx has a rich anaerobic flora, and foul odour often occurs in squamous cancers. Wound infections are common after radical surgery for cancer. In a double-blind trial tinidazole or placebo was given to patients undergoing major resections of intra-oral squamous carcinomas. Tinidazole was...

description The oropharynx has a rich anaerobic flora, and foul odour often occurs in squamous cancers. Wound infections are common after radical surgery for cancer. In a double-blind trial tinidazole or placebo was given to patients undergoing major resections of intra-oral squamous carcinomas. Tinidazole was given in a dose of 8 g over seven days. Placebo tablets were given to the other group. Tinidazole proved to be effective in preventing post-operative wound infections and clinically eliminating the smell associated with the discharge. In the placebo group, a majority of the patients became infected and had a foul smell. Aerobic bacteria and a variety of anaerobic Gram-negative bacilli were present in these patients. After eight patients were treated, the results were so clear-cut that the placebo part of the trial was stopped.
