Abstract
The value of preoperative prophylactic parenteral treatment with ceftriaxone at elective abdominal hysterectomy was investigated in a prospective, randomized, double-blind study, in which 157 women participated, 77 in the antibiotic group and 80 in the control group. Increased febrile morbidity and a significant preponderance of women with urinary tract infections were observed in the untreated group, whereas there was no significant difference between the two groups regarding wound infections or infiltration at the top of the vagina. We find no indication for routine prophylactic use of antibiotics at elective abdominal hysterectomy.Entities:
