  • Title: Cephradine prophylaxis in transurethral procedures for carcinoma of the bladder.
    Author: MacDermott JP, Ewing RE, Somerville JF, Gray BK.
    Journal: Br J Urol; 1988 Aug; 62(2):136-9. PubMed ID: 3044484.
    Abstract:
    The value of cephradine prophylaxis in reducing urinary infection was assessed in 243 patients undergoing endoscopy for bladder carcinoma. Patients were randomised either to receive 3 peri-operative doses of cephradine or to receive no antibiotic. Urine specimens taken on the fifth post-operative day showed a significantly lower urinary infection rate in those patients receiving cephradine prophylaxis.
