What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the use of prophylactic antibiotics and antimicrobial-coated sutures can prevent surgical site infection in children undergoing open groin surgeries. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the use of intravenous prophylactic antibiotics or antimicrobial-coated sutures significantly reduce the occurrence of surgical site infection in children undergoing open groin surgeries? Researchers will compare no antibiotic use to the use of intravenous prophylactic antibiotics, or antimicrobial-coated sutures to see if the use of intravenous prophylactic antibiotics and antimicrobial-coated sutures significantly reduces the occurrence of surgical site infection following open groin surgeries in children. Participants will: * Undergo open groin surgery with either the use of intravenous prophylactic antibiotic or antimicrobial-coated sutures
