  • Title: A four-day course of cephalosporins in transurethral prostatectomy.
    Author: Fujita K.
    Journal: Clin Ther; 1988; 10 Spec No():36-42. PubMed ID: 3233628.
    Abstract:
    Each of 233 patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy received 2 gm of a cephalosporin intravenously on the day of surgery and the following day and 1 gm on each of the next two days. No serious postoperative complications and no epididymitis were noted. Postoperative urinary tract infections occurred in 7% of the 233 patients: in 13% of the 64 patients preoperatively infected and in 5% of the 169 patients not preoperatively infected. Fourteen previous studies of prophylaxis in transurethral prostatectomy are reviewed.
