Key findings

194 HS surgeries at a quaternary care center, 2013–2021.
Perioperative trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole was associated with shorter time to documented healing (HR 2.55, 95% CI 1.46–4.46).
Preoperative cephalexin was associated with shorter healing (HR 4.17, 1.40–12.44); postoperative cephalexin was not (HR 0.89, 0.44–1.79).
Intraoperative cultures had a limited clinical role.
