The use of electric clippers for hair removal is
commonly compared with shaving as the control
in randomised studies, as shaving is still
considered routine practice.
A large randomised study compared shaving and
electrical clipping the night before surgery on the
outcome of mediastinitis post coronary bypass
surgery in 1,980 patients. The results were
statistically significant in favour of clipping
(p=0.024). Another randomised study of over
1,013 patients compared shaving and clipping
the evening before, and the morning of surgery
on wounds classified as Class I-III (see Table 2).
The greatest reduction in surgical site infection
was found in the group who had clipping on the
morning of surgery (p>0.01), a statistically
significant result. Observational studies have
tended to favour clipping or suggest no
difference, although, two better quality studies
demonstrated a significant benefit with the use of
clippers compared to shaving if preoperative hair
removal is required.
