Abstract
Introduction: There are minimal data to guide antibiotic management of patients undergoing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia. Specifically, management of high-risk patients who are catheter dependent or have positive preoperative urine cultures varies widely. We aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative antibiotic duration on infectious complications in high-risk patients undergoing HoLEP. Methods: A multi-institutional retrospective review of patients undergoing HoLEP between 2018 and 2023 at five institutions was performed. Patients were defined as high risk if they were catheter-dependent (indwelling urethral catheter, self-catheterization, or suprapubic tube) or had a positive preoperative urine culture. These patients were categorized into long course (>3 days) or short course (≤3 days) of preoperative antibiotics. The primary outcome was 30-day infectious complications defined as a positive urine culture with symptoms. A t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for continuous variables and Fisher's exact test was used for categorical variables. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify associations with infectious complications. Results: Our cohort included 407 patients, of which 146 (36%) and 261 (64%) were categorized as short course and long course of preoperative antibiotics, respectively. Median preoperative antibiotic duration was 1 day (interquartile range [IQR]: 0, 3 days) and 7 days (IQR: 5, 7 days) in the short and long cohorts, respectively. Thirty-day postoperative infectious complications occurred in 11 (7.6%) patients who received a short course of antibiotics and 5 (1.9%) patients who received a long course of antibiotics (odds ratio 0.24, 95% confidence interval 0.07-0.67; p = 0.009). Variables such as age, positive urine culture, and postoperative antibiotic duration were not significantly associated with postoperative infection after propensity score weighting. Conclusion: In high-risk patients undergoing HoLEP, infectious complications were significantly lower with a long course vs short course of antibiotics. Further prospective trials are needed to identify optimal preoperative antibiotic regimens.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Endourology, JE Case Reports, and Videourology are the leading peer-reviewed journal, case reports publication, and innovative videojournal companion covering all aspects of minimally invasive urology research, applications, and clinical outcomes.
The leading journal of minimally invasive urology for over 30 years, Journal of Endourology is the essential publication for practicing surgeons who want to keep up with the latest surgical technologies in endoscopic, laparoscopic, robotic, and image-guided procedures as they apply to benign and malignant diseases of the genitourinary tract. This flagship journal includes the companion videojournal Videourology™ with every subscription. While Journal of Endourology remains focused on publishing rigorously peer reviewed articles, Videourology accepts original videos containing material that has not been reported elsewhere, except in the form of an abstract or a conference presentation.
Journal of Endourology coverage includes:
The latest laparoscopic, robotic, endoscopic, and image-guided techniques for treating both benign and malignant conditions
Pioneering research articles
Controversial cases in endourology
Techniques in endourology with accompanying videos
Reviews and epochs in endourology
Endourology survey section of endourology relevant manuscripts published in other journals.
