title: [Antibiotic prophylaxis in endoscopic urologic surgery].
abstract: Recent studies have shown the value of antibiotic prophylaxis with short therapy periods in patients submitted to transurethral surgery. We have carried out a prospective study on 46 patients, all with negative urine cultures prior to the intervention, divided into two groups: one control and the other with short cefuroxime prophylaxis. With the latter a reduction in post-operative infectious complications was obtained, and specifically of postoperative bacteriuria, from a 70% in the control group to al 13% in the prophylaxis group. The results are statistically significant.
