Should patients be shaved prior to transurethral surgery?

I Fraser, S MacPherson, A Panagakis.   

Abstract

In a prospective randomised trial no significant difference in urinary infection was found when routine pubic shaving prior to transurethral surgery was compared with no pubic shave. An argument based on financial and aesthetic considerations is presented to support the abolition of this traditional policy.
