Abstract:
A prospective randomized study of 90 patients undergoing hysterectomy who received a single 1 gm dose of cefotetan and multiple 2 gm doses of cefoxitin was completed. An overall infection rate of 1.2% was recorded. Bacteriologic and clinical success rates were not different between antibiotics.
