  • Title: Ceftriaxone as prophylaxis in endourology and extracorporal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL).
    Author: Kühn W, Michaelis F, Bortfeld S, Weissbach L.
    Journal: J Chemother; 1989 Jul; 1(4 Suppl):1015-6. PubMed ID: 16312750.
    Abstract:
    The high risk of infection in endourological surgery is caused by manipulation of the occluded and frequently infected upper urinary tract with instruments. The results show a significant decrease of infection by antibiotic prophylasix with ceftriaxone. However prophylaxis is not necessary in ESWL.
