title: [Antibiotic prophylaxis with enoxacin in extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy].
abstract: According to literature, 16 to 35% of operatively removed renal stones harbour bacteria. The efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis with enoxacin in reducing the rate of bacteriuria after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) was investigated in a prospective randomized study. Twenty-five patients received a single 400 mg dose of enoxacin one hour before ESWL, 25 patients did not receive an antibiotic. It was found that a single 400 mg dose of enoxacin one hour before ESWL can reduce the rate of bacteriuria significantly.
