title: [Preventive use of antibiotics in obstetric-gynecologic operations].
abstract: In the past decade modern, perioperative short-term antibiotic-prophylaxis has been widely accepted in certain gynecological operations and in caesarean section. Many studies demonstrate the clinical effectiveness. Well established indications are vaginal hysterectomy and high risk caesarean section with a high rate of infections. The infectious morbidity should be carefully evaluated at every department. The older Cephalosporins (first and second generation) should be used for prophylaxis.
