What is Involved?

If you choose to join this study, you will get a random assignment (like a coin flip) to 1 of 2 treatment arms in this study:

If you are in Arm 1, you will get an antibiotic (either cefazolin or clindamycin) through IV (injected into a vein) during your surgery and not take any antibiotics on your own after surgery
If you are in Arm 2, you will get an antibiotic (either cefazolin or clindamycin) through IV (injected into a vein)

About a week after surgery, you will have a follow-up visit to see how you are doing. About 2 weeks after surgery, we will call you to see how you are doing.
