Contributions of authors
FS and AMG conceived the initial review project and published a HTA report in 1998 (Song 1998), as well as a protocol in the Cochrane Library (1998 issue 2). Study selection and data abstraction were done jointly by both authors at that time. Expansion of the review in time (1980 through to 2007), and organisation of the review into a collection of clinically‐relevant subgroup analyses was conceived by RN, and the additional study selection done jointly by RN and AMG. Data abstraction was done by RN and checked by AMG. Data analyses were done by RN and checked by AMG. The protocol was rewritten, and final review written by RN.

Notes
This is the first publication of this complete review in the Cochrane Library.
The history of the review is protracted and more sense can be made of the main text if its history is recounted here.
The protocol on which this review is based is an substantial update of the original protocol entitled: Antimicrobial prophylaxis in colorectal surgery, originally hosted by the Cochrane Wounds group, and published first time in the Cochrane Library 1998 issue 2, by AM Glenny and F Song.
However, though a complete review was published as a Health Technology Assessment in Great Britain (Song 1998), and also by the same authors in the British Journal of Surgery (Br J Surg 1998 Sep;85(9):1232‐41), it was never published in the Cochrane Library.
The original protocol was relocated to the Cochrane Colorectal Cancer Group in 2002, when the current contact author (RLN) became the corresponding author of the review.
A completed review with updated search and structural reorganization was submitted in 2005, but because of the degree of change and long passage of time, a new protocol was requested by the referees. This was done, submitted, approved and published in 2007 (Cochrane Library 2007 issue 4).
The completed review was submitted in January 2008.
