Article Synopsis
- - The study compares two antibiotic prophylaxis protocols for patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), a surgical procedure for kidney stones, to prevent infections and postoperative complications.
- - Patients were divided into two groups: one received a single dose of ciprofloxacin, while the other received cefotaxime in two doses; results showed a significant difference in postoperative fever rates between the groups.
- - The findings suggest that ciprofloxacin is more effective than cefotaxime in reducing the risk of postoperative fever in PCNL patients, indicating the importance of choosing the right antibiotic for preoperative care.
