Prophylaxis001: Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Transurethral Prostate Resection (TURP) and Transurethral Bladder Tumour Resection (TURB)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To investigate the use of antibiotic prophylaxis in patients undergoing TURP and TURB. The investigators set up a prospective, randomized controlled trial in which (after exclusion of risk factors) patients will be randomized in receiving levofloxacin (Tavanic) orally or no antibiotics. The exclusion criteria for TURP are a pre-operative transurethral catheter or > 100 urinary white blood cells in the pre-operative urine sample. The exclusion criteria for TURB are a pre-op catheter or clinical signs of infection.

Detailed Description
Main objective:
To investigate the safety of omitting antibiotic prophylaxis in TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate) and TURB (transurethral bladder tumour resection) in patients without a pre-operative catheter or > 100 WBC in the pre-operative urinary sample (TURP) or clinical signs of urinary infection (TURB).
Secondary objective:
To investigate post-operative bacteriuria after TURB and TURP in our population.
Principal inclusion criterium:
Patients undergoing TURP or TURB.
Primary exclusion criterium:
TURP: pre-operative catheter or > 100 white blood cells in the pre- operative urinary sample.
TURB: pre-operative catheter or clinical signs of infection (fever, nyctalgia).
Primary endpoint:
Post-operative infection.
Secondary endpoint:
Post-operative bacteriuria.
