| Abstract: | ![]()
The value of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients undergoing prostatectomy was assessed in a randomized study using three schedules of gentamicin administration. All three gentamicin schedules were effective in lowering the incidence of postoperative bacteriuria, with a single dose of gentamicin two hours preoperatively being the most effective. Antibiotic prophylaxis did not significantly affect the clinical course. |
