Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether prescribing a 3-day course of antibiotics
after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) reduces the risk of urinary tract
infection. The findings of this trial will have a major impact on clinical practice to either
justify the prescription of antibiotics after HoLEP or give urologists more confidence in not
prescribing antibiotics prophylactically after HoLEP.
