Abstract

A prospective randomized study was conducted comparing a single 2.2 g preoperative dose amoxycillin/clavulanic acid with a regimen of 1.5 g cefuroxim combined with 0.5 g metronidazole. Two hundred and fifty-one women were evaluated in this comparative study. The febrile morbidity, the incidence of urinary tract infections and the hospital stay were similar in both regimens. A single preoperative dose of amoxycillin/clavulanic acid was as effective as a combined regimen of cefuroxim and metronidazole and less expensive.
