title: [Prevention using cefotetan of post-partum and post-abortion infectious complications in intra-uterine procedures].
abstract: A prospective, randomized study was conducted in 113 women to evaluate the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis with cefotetan versus no prophylaxis in the prevention of post-partum and post-abortion sepsis. The administration of a single 2 g dose of cefotetan at the time of surgery significantly reduced the number of infectious complications, removal of the placenta or an internal inspection were carried out.
