title: Prophylaxis in urological surgery.
abstract: Prophylaxis in urological surgery is usually taken to mean antibacterial agents. However, in this study, other factors such as the environment, patient risk and surgical risk factors are also taken into account. Because patients have a wide variety of possible risk factors, individual variations must be possible. In standard transurethral resection in non-risk patients, single-dose preoperative prophylaxis may be sufficient. In open surgery prophylactic measures should be varied according to the extent of the procedure.
