Papers・Description | OBJECTIVE: We aimed to examine the clinical significance of an antimicrobial administration protocol, in which postoperative prophylaxis was proactively discontinued. METHODS: We included 81 adult urethroplasties performed at our institution in the study. Preoperative bacteriuria was treated using an appropriate antimicrobial agent 2-5 days before surgery. All patients were treated with intravenous antimicrobial agents until postoperative day 2, and thereafter without prophylaxis. Antibiotics were resumed from the day before the urethrogram for urethral catheter removal, 2-3 weeks postoperatively. The relationships between pre- and postoperative positive urine culture and postoperative infectious complications, along with factors influencing surgical success rate were examined retrospectively. |
