Antibiotic prophylaxis for transurethral resection (TUR) procedures significantly reduced urinary tract infections. This study found low infection rates (2-5%) for TUR of the prostate and 3% for bladder tumors, even with initially infected urine.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Procedures

Context:

  • Transurethral resection (TUR) is a common urological procedure.
  • Nosocomial urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a potential complication.
  • Antibiotic prophylaxis is often used to prevent infections.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of Co-Trimoxazole antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing UTIs during TUR procedures.
  • To determine the incidence of nosocomial UTIs in patients undergoing TUR of the prostate and bladder tumors.
  • To assess the impact of pre-existing urinary tract infections on infectious complications.

Summary:

  • 300 patients undergoing TUR procedures were prospectively studied.
  • Co-Trimoxazole prophylaxis was administered to patients with sterile urine.

  • Infection rates were low: 2-5% for TUR of the prostate and 3% for bladder tumors.
  • Pre-existing bacteriuria did not increase the risk of infectious complications.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrates the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis in reducing UTIs post-TUR.
    • Provides data on infection rates for specific urological procedures.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding antibiotic use in urological surgery.
