title: [Preventive antibiotic therapy and endoscopic resection. A randomized study of 52 patients].
abstract: In an open randomised comparative study, the efficacy of perioperative treatment with pivmecillinam (from the evening before the operation to the day after removal of the catheter) in urinary tract endoscopic surgery complicated by a serious uronephrological history was evaluated in 27 subjects versus a control group of 25 subjects. 80% of patients in this group had an uncomplicated postoperative course compared with only 40% of the subjects in the control group (p less than 0.010). The authors conclude on the value of this type of prophylaxis.
