    Author: Asuero Mantero M, Gómez Velázquez M, Leal Arenas J.
    Journal: Actas Urol Esp; 1989; 13(5):353-6. PubMed ID: 2596353.
    Abstract:
    Recent studies have shown the value of antibiotic prophylaxis with short therapy periods in patients submitted to transurethral surgery. We have carried out a prospective study on 46 patients, all with negative urine cultures prior to the intervention, divided into two groups: one control and the other with short cefuroxime prophylaxis. With the latter a reduction in post-operative infectious complications was obtained, and specifically of postoperative bacteriuria, from a 70% in the control group to al 13% in the prophylaxis group. The results are statistically significant.
