Abstract
Awareness is needed amongst the general public about the ill effects of smoking. There was reduction in the incidence of wound infection with the use of topical antibiotic ointment. However, this was not statistically significant to recommend its use in routine practice. A larger study should provide useful information on the role of topical antibiotic and its effect on postoperative wound infection.
