    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Prophylactic antibiotic use has expanded with advancements in prosthetic surgery and nonoperative urolithiasis treatment.
    • These procedures carry an increased risk of infectious complications, necessitating careful antibiotic application.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and provide recommendations for the judicious use of prophylactic antibiotics in urolithiasis and prosthetic surgery.
    • To highlight the lack of controlled clinical trials guiding antibiotic prophylaxis in these surgical fields.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and expert consensus were used to formulate recommendations.
    • Analysis of current practices and identification of evidence gaps regarding antibiotic prophylaxis.

    Main Results:

    • Expanded application of prophylactic antibiotics in urolithiasis and prosthetic surgery is noted.
    • A significant lack of controlled clinical trials addressing optimal antibiotic dosing, selection, and indications was identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Further controlled clinical trials are essential to establish evidence-based guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis.
    • In the absence of definitive data, current recommendations focus on judicious and informed antibiotic use.
