title: [Prevention of postoperative infections in non-endoscopic urologic surgery by a single dose of cefotiam].
abstract: We report on the results of a randomized study of 1 g céfotiam flash pre-operative antibioprophylaxis to prevent post-operatory infection complications in non-endoscopic urologic surgery. Thirty-seven patients (17 controls and 20 treated) have had a prostatic adenomectomy: treatment has lead to decrease the number of post-operatory wall complications (47% vs 20%) and hospitalisation staying (p less than 0.03). Seventy-eight patients have had a urologic surgery with lumbar or abdominal incision (37 treated and 41 controls). In this group, there was not gain on post-operatory infections complications nor on hospital staying, since this surgery has a little number of infections complications. During the study, we have not noted an abnormal part of cefotiam resistant germs.
