Single dose antibiotic prophylaxis in high risk patients undergoing transurethral prostatectomy

Abstract: In a randomized controlled clinical trial single dose antibiotic prophylaxis (gentamicin 80 mg IV) was evaluated in 36 patients with indwelling urethral catheters undergoing transurethral prostatic resection. Prophylaxis resulted in a significant reduction in postoperative bacteriuria (P less than 0.01), pyrexia (P less than 0.001), bacteraemia (P less than 0.01) and septicaemia (P less than 0.05). During the same period there was one case of postoperative bacteriuria but no systemic infection in 25 consecutiv… Show more

“…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.…”

“…It is well documented that administration of antimicrobics to these two categories of patients before surgery can reduce the frequency of clinically significant infectious complications, and hence there is general agreement that these patients are candidates for some regimen of antimicrobics in relation to TURP (5, 19,32,34,36,47). However, the first concern should be to avoid urethral catheterization and any other instrumentation whenever possible (7).…”
