title: [Antibiotic prophylaxis in urology].
abstract: Antibiotic prophylaxis is an important measure aimed at reduction of infectious complications after urologic procedures. The goal of this prospective study is assessment of the efficacy, safety and cost of short-time antibiotic prophylaxis before planned urologic surgery. Uncomplicated cystoscopy, urodynamic examination and ESWL were performed without antibiotic prophylaxis. Oral quinolones were effective in prostate biopsy. In open, laparoscopic or endoscopic surgery intravenous prophylaxis by cephalosporins had excellent efficacy. All types of prophylaxes were very safe and without adverse effects, and could be applied at low economic cost.
