[Value of the preventive use of antibiotics following vaginal obstetric operations].
For a period of 6 years 838 puerperal cases after vaginal obstetric operations (forceps delivery, vacuum extraction, delivery with speculum, manual placenta separation, palpation of the uterus) were critically analysed. The result of the studies suggest that an antibiotic or chemoprophylaxis after vaginal obstetric operations is not successful because of the relatively low infectious morbidity. In obstetrics this prophylaxis is indicated only in delivery by caesarean section as a perioperative short-time prophylaxis.
