Comparison of Preoperative Prophylactic Single Dose Fosfomycin Trometamol Versus 5-day Levofloxacin in Prevention of Post-percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Infectious Complications and Sepsis: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Comparison of Preoperative Prophylactic Single Dose Fosfomycin Trometamol Versus 5-day Levofloxacin in Prevention of Post-percutaneous Nephrolithotomy Infectious Complications and Sepsis: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
A randomized controlled trial comparing the use of preoperative prophylactic single dose fosfomycin trometamol versus levofloxacin in prevention of post-PCNL infectious complications and sepsis.
the 3 groups were compared as regards the baseline data, preoperative data, intra-operative data, and post-op data.
A prospective randomized study, in which 300 patients admitted to urology department, Tanta university with renal stones prepared for PCNL were randomly distributed into 3 groups:
Group I, included 70 patients received single oral dose Fosfomycin 3 gm the night before the procedure.
Group II, included 70 patients received 5 days levofloxacin 500 mg once daily before PCNL Group III, included 70 patients will not receive preoperative treatment
The patients were evaluated by: complete hemogram, renal function, stone work-up, and MSU culture were done preoperatively.
NCCT was done for all included patients Intraoperative renal pelvic urine (collected after ureteral catheterization or at first puncture of pelvicalyceal system [PCS]) and stone fragments were collected in sterile plastic containers for culture. The samples were sent immediately (within 1 hour) to the laboratory for processing.
The following data were recorded and compared; patients' demographic data, stone characteristics, preoperative lab. Investigations, intraoperative data (OR time and complications) and postoperative data (SFR, complications especially infectious ones, sepsis and fever, hospital stay), and post-operative bacteruria.
