Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the results of using cefuroxime as prophylactic antibiotic in PCNL. Subject and method: 56 patients undergoing PCNL (percutaneous nephrolithotomy) from February 2022 to February 2023 at the Department of Urology, 108 Military Central Hospital, were given prophylactic antibiotics cefuroxim 750mg - 1.5g (750mg injection for patients < 70kg), 1.5g injection in patients ≥ 70kg), a single intravenous dose 30 minutes before surgery. Selection criteria: Patients without clinical and subclinical bacteriuria, 24h postoperative follow-up: Fever, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, complete blood count, bacteriuria culture. Result: 24 hours after PCNL: There were 8 patients with fever (14.3%), the percentage of white blood cells (BC) 14.3 ± 2.56 (p=0.17). SIRS had 2/56 (3.6%). There were 1/56 (1.8%) patients with positive bacteriuria and blood cultures, 48/56 patients with urinary catheter removed and renal drainage after 2 days, 8/56 patients with urinary catheter and catheter removed. kidney retention > 3 days due to post-operative fever. The average operative time was 41.16 ± 17.14 (20-115) min, discharge after 3.78 ± 1.1 days. Conclusion: Cefuroxim 750mg is used as a prophylactic antibiotic, administered intravenously as a single injection in PCNL, resulting in no postoperative infection of 85.7%, which can replace antibiotics for surgical coverage. Surgery for patients without urinary tract infection, short operative time without intraoperative complications.
