    Author: Faro S.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1988 Jan; 33(1 Suppl):154-8. PubMed ID: 3278111.
    Abstract:
    The need for antimicrobial prophylaxis in patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy is well recognized, and the benefits of prophylaxis in cesarean section are relatively clear-cut. In contrast, only those patients at risk of serious complications from postoperative infection are considered candidates for prophylaxis after abdominal hysterectomy. This paper addresses the following questions: Does the patient need prophylaxis? If so, how should the most suitable antibiotic be selected?
