title: [Perioperative antimicrobial preventive treatment in urology].
abstract: Infectious complications following urologic surgery include bacteriuria, bacteremia, sepsis, acute pyelonephritis, and wound infection. Antimicrobial prophylaxis reduces the risk of some of these complications and is recommended in transrectal core biopsy of the prostate, transurethral surgery, open prostatectomy, and stone surgery. Prophylaxis does not appear to be beneficial in patients undergoing transrectal needle or transperineal core biopsy of the prostate, cystoscopy, orchiectomy, hydrocelectomy, and simple nephrectomy. Patients with urinary tract infection preoperatively should receive antimicrobial treatment prior to surgery.
