“…Postoperative UTIs and bacteremia were the typical complications of TUR‐P, so effective AMP is necessary. Many studies on the necessity of AMP for TUR‐P have been reported 3,13,14,46–89 . Among them, many randomized comparative studies and meta‐analysis 88,89 were included.…”

Japanese guidelines for prevention of perioperative infections in urological field

et al. 2007

For urologists, it is very important to master surgical indications and surgical techniques. On the other hand , the knowledge of the prevention of perioperative infections and the improvement of surgical techniques should always be considered. Although the prevention of perioperative infections in each surgical field is a very important issue, the evidence and the number of guidelines are limited. Among them, the preparation of guidelines has progressed , especially in gastrointestinal surgery. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) proposed guidelines for the prevention of surgical site infections, which have been used worldwide. In urology, the original guidelines were different from those of general surgery, due to many endourological procedures and urine exposure in the surgical field. The Japanese Society of UTI Cooperative Study Group has thus framed these guidelines supported by The Japanese Urological Association. The guidelines consist of the following nine techniques: open surgeries, laparoscopic surgeries, transurethral resection of bladder tumor, ureterorenoscope and transurethral lithotripsy, transurethral resection of the prostate, prostate biopsy, cystourethroscope, pediatric surgeries in the urological field , and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and febrile neutropenia. These are the first guidelines for the prevention of perioperative infections in the urological field in Japan. Although most of these guidelines were made using reliable evidence, there are parts without enough evidence. Therefore, if new reliable data is reported , it will be necessary for these guidelines to be revised in the future. Key words:Open surgery, Laparoscopic surgery, TUR, Prostate biopsy, Cystourethroscope, ESWL. I. General remarksUrological practice mainly consists of surgical procedures, since the field of urology is a division of surgery. Therefore, it is very important to master surgical indications and surgical techniques. On the other hand , the knowledge of the prevention of perioperative infections and the improvement of surgical techniques should always be considered. Although the prevention of perioperative infections in each surgical field is a very important issue, these evidences are limited and the number of guidelines is limited.

We have thus framed these guidelines supported by The Japanese Urological Association. I-I Definition and classification of perioperative infectionsA perioperative infection is defined as an infection that occurs within one month after an operation. These infections are divided into two groups: surgical site infections (SSIs) and remote i...

“…Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are widely prescribed antibiotics (reportedly becoming the most common class of antibiotics prescribed to adults in 2002)1 used to treat pneumonia,2–4 sinusitis,2–4 bronchitis2–4 and urinary tract infections,2 5 and also employed for prostate procedure prophylaxis,6 7 among other indications 8–11. As with all drugs, FQs have the potential for adverse effects (AEs) 8–15…”

SUMMARYWe present a case series of four previously healthy, employed adults without significant prior medical history in each of whom symptoms developed while on fluoroquinolones (FQs), with progression that continued following discontinuation evolving to a severe, disabling multisymptom profile variably involving tendinopathy, muscle weakness, peripheral neuropathy, autonomic dysfunction, sleep disorder, cognitive dysfunction and psychiatric disturbance. Physicians and patients should be alert to the potential for FQ-induced severe disabling multisymptom pathology that may persist and progress following FQ use. Known induction by FQs of delayed mitochondrial toxicity provides a compatible mechanism, with symptom profiles (and documented mechanisms of FQ toxicity) compatible with the hypothesis of an exposure-induced mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy.

“…In the study of Murdoch et al (29), although preoperative bacteriuria was an exclusion criterion, 14 patients with significant preoperative bacteriuria were included in the trial. In the study of Hellsten et al (30) patients were not stratified according to urine culture status preoperatively, and the study of Ueda et al (Table 2) did not specify whether the preoperative urine was infected or not.…”

Role of quinolones in surgical prophylaxis

The general principles involved in the use of chemoprophylaxis in surgery, the selection of patients at risk, and the choice of antibiotic agents are reasonably well established. While a good deal of data exist regarding commonly used prophylactic regimens, very little data are available on the role of quinolones in surgical prophylaxis. The literature dealing with this area is reviewed, and studies on the use of quinolones in biliary, colorectal, urologic, orthopedic and vascular surgery are discussed. The data suggest that generally the quinolones are as efficacious as the other antibiotics with which they were compared, and in the case of urologic surgery the results using quinolones were better than those in non-treated controls. Single-dose prophylaxis was regularly shown to be as effective as multiple dose regimens. Further clinical trial data are necessary before any firm conclusions can be drawn regarding the role of quinolones in surgical prophylaxis.
