Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- Surgical site infections (SSI) including urinary tract infections (UTI) cause a significant morbidity in urological surgery. Antibiotic prophylaxis is one of several factors impacting on infection rates. Antibiotic prophylaxis is relevant only for clean and clean-contaminated operations and in the absence of bacterial growth in the urine. Strict classification of urological procedures is lacking, but a proposal is presented elsewhere. Only TURP and transrectal core prostate biopsy are well documented. The present review confirms that there is a lack of hard data, insufficient consistency in classification and definitions, and that new well-powered RCT and large multicentre quality cohort studies including risk factor analysis are necessary to improve recommendations for antibiotic prophylaxis in urologic surgery.
