[Infectious complications after transurethral resection].
300 consecutive TUR were prospectively examined bacteriologically. We used, lacking contraindications, Co-Trimoxazol as antibiotic prophylaxis, when urine at admittance was sterile, otherwise we treated the urinary infection. The antibiotics were applied from the beginning of the intervention until the catheter was removed. Of the 49 patients with a indwelling catheter 28 (57%) had an urinary infection. All but one were cured. 2 of 64 (3%) patients undergoing resection of a bladder tumour acquired asymptomatic nosocomial infection. 198 patients underwent TUR of the prostate with initially sterile urine. 7 patients suffered from fever in the postoperative course, in 6 cases the origin remained unclear. 3 patients showed an asymptomatic nosocomial infection. Overall, with antibiotic prophylaxis we found an infection rate of 2-5% for the TUR of the prostate and of 3% for the TUR of bladder. Primarily infected urine, in this study, did not elevate the risk for infectious complications.
