Abstract
In a prospective randomized study involving 90 uninfected patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy it was found that routine postoperative use of prophylactic cephalosporins had no beneficial effect on the incidence of fever, hospital stay or major complications. Patients receiving cephalosporins had a significantly lower incidence of postoperative bacteriuria immediately after catheter removal and 1 month postoperatively.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
