title: [Prophylactic cefmetazole in transurethral prostatectomy].
abstract: Patients received 2 gram of cefmetazole, twice on the day of transurethral prostatectomy and the next day, once for the succeeding 2 days. Thirteen out of 34 cases showed significant preoperative bacteriuria. Only 3 of them persisted on the 5th day. Postoperative courses were uneventful in all cases with neither acute epididymitis nor significant fever.
