Comparison Between Short and Long Schemes of Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Transrectal Prostate Biopsy. A Multicentre Prospective Randomised Study
Prophylactic antibiotic is used to minimize the infective complications risk following
transrectal biopsy of the prostate.
The majority of works points to the need of antibiotic prophylaxis previously to transrectal
prostate biopsy. However, there is a lot of controversy and diversity of therapeutic schemes
in the literature concerning the ideal drug to be used and the time employed for infectious
prophylaxis.
The objective of this randomised study was to assess 2 different schemes of antimicrobial
prophylaxis, aiming to determine the difference in infective complications with a single
dose of ciprofloxacin 2 hours before the procedure vs. ciprofloxacin for 3 days
Interventional
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Prevention
