Summary
Postoperative urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect 20-30% of patients undergoing elective
gynecologic surgery and have a significant socioeconomic impact and cost. Preoperative
antibiotics, sterile operating techniques, postoperative antibiotic and non-antibiotic
medical therapies have been utilized to attempt to decrease this rate with little
improvement. Utilization of an intraoperative antibiotic cystoscopic irrigant may decrease
postoperative UTIs. The investigators have designed a prospective randomized controlled study
to evaluate the effectiveness of an antibiotic cystoscopic fluid in preventing postoperative
urinary tract infections in women undergoing elective pelvic floor surgery with cystoscopy.
