“…2 Perioperative and postoperative antibiotics are widely used by pediatric urologists, particularly in hypospadias surgery. 3 The rationale was to reduce the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI) in the early postoperative period following the placement of a catheter, [4][5][6][7][8] Moreover, antibiotics were effective at reducing the risk of meatal stenosis and fistula. 4 Although the potential benefit of antimicrobial prophylaxis is unclear and still controversial, most pediatric urologists administer preoperative and postoperative antibiotics independently of a stent placement.…”

“…4 Although the potential benefit of antimicrobial prophylaxis is unclear and still controversial, most pediatric urologists administer preoperative and postoperative antibiotics independently of a stent placement. 3 Little evidence is currently available regarding the effectiveness of preoperative antibiotics in both stented and stentless repair. 6 In our study, we examined the effect of using preoperative antibiotics in reducing the rate of infection after hypospadias repair.…”

Introduction: We sought to determine whether the use of preoperative antibiotics is effective in reducing postoperative wound infections and urinary tract infections (UTI) in hypospadias repair. Methods:We retrospectively reviewed all hypospadias repairs performed at the Montreal Children's Hospital between March 2009 and September 2012. All types of primary hypospadias repairs and redo cases were included. Patients with no adequate follow-up or with missing records of antibiotics were excluded. Preoperative antibiotics were given in the form of cefazolin (50 mg/kg intravenously) when appropriate. Postoperative oral antibiotics were administered as decided by the pediatric urologist. Primary outcomes included postoperative wound infection and UTI. Secondary outcomes included the need for reoperation of hypospadias due to urethrocutaneous fistula, meatal stenosis, urethral stricture and wound dehiscence. Results: In total, 157 cases of hypospadias repair were reviewed; of these 7 were excluded due to lack of follow-up. Of the remaining 150 patients, 62 received preoperative antibiotics and 88 did not. The groups were well-matched for age, hypospadias characteristics, type of repair and repair of curvature. The group that received preoperative antibiotics had a significantly higher number of stented cases (82% vs. 52% of the non-preoperative antibiotic group). Two cases of wound infection were reported (1 in the preoperative antibiotic group and 1 in the non-preoperative antibiotic group). There was no symptomatic UTI or culture-demonstrated UTI in either group. Moreover, there was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in terms of primary outcomes. The complication rate was 11% (17/150 repairs) and all patients needed reoperation. This study's important limitations include the rarity of studied end points combined with the small sample and the retrospective nature of our study. Conclusion: Our findings do not support the routine use of preoperative antibiotics in hypospadias repair.

“…Indeed, the vast majority of pediatric urologists use both perioperative and postoperative antibiotics in this setting. 3 A single dose of perioperative antibiotics or a few days of postoperative antibiotics are practices that likely have few negative consequences. So while we may not be able to quantify the benefit, we surely cannot be causing harm.…”
