Surgical Wound Classification
- Clean: uninfected wound without inflammation or entry into the genital, urinary, or alimentary tract
- Clean-contaminated: uninfected wound with controlled entry into the genital, urinary, or alimentary tract
- Contaminated: uninfected wound with major break in sterile technique (gross spillage from gastrointestinal tract or non-purulent inflammation)
- Dirty: wound with preexisting clinical infection or perforated viscera
Risk Factors for Post-Operative Infection
Host Factors (10)
- Advanced age
- Anatomic anomalies
- Poor nutritional status
- Smoking
- Chronic corticosteroid use
- Immunodeficiency
- Chronic indwelling hardware
- Infected endogenous/exogenous material
- Distant co-existent infection
- Prolonged hospitalization

Urinary Catheter Removal
- Does not significantly reduce risk of UTIs in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy or TURP
- 2021 Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
- 8 randomized trials evaluating antibiotic prophylaxis for UTIs after extraction of a temporary (≤14 days) urinary catheter.
- 2 trials were laparoscopic radical prostatectomy patients
- 1 trial was TURP patients
- Results
- Only 2 studies showed that antibiotic prophylaxis can significantly reduce the consequent UTIs after extraction of urinary catheters while 6 did not.
- None of the 3 urological trials found a significant benefit of antibiotic prophylaxis
- 2 trials that found benefit were in patients undergoing abdominal surgery or women on medical and surgical wards with bacteriuria
- Overall, antibiotic prophylaxis was associated with reduced UTIs (RR, 0.47, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.28-0.72, P< .01, I2 = 31%).
- Subgroup analysis suggested that patients who could get more benefit from antibiotic prophylaxis included
- Are > 60
- Received Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TMP/SMX
- indwelling catheters > 5 days
- Only 2 studies showed that antibiotic prophylaxis can significantly reduce the consequent UTIs after extraction of urinary catheters while 6 did not.

- 8 randomized trials evaluating antibiotic prophylaxis for UTIs after extraction of a temporary (≤14 days) urinary catheter.
- 2021 Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Special considerations
Risk of endocarditis
- The risk of infectious endocarditis (IE) after urologic procedures is low.
- Enterococcus faecaelis is the pathogen most likely responsible for IE following a genitorurinary tract bacteremia
- The current recommendation is that the use of prophylactic antibiotics solely to prevent IE is not recommended
- Previous guidelines from the American Heart Association had recommended routine prophylaxis
- The guidelines do state that for patients with certain concomitant conditions (prosthetic cardiac valve, previous IE, congenital heart disease, cardiac transplantation) AND an active infection or colonization who are to undergo GU tract manipulation, including elective cystoscopy, antibiotic therapy to sterilize the urine may be reasonable (Class IIb evidence).
- Amoxicillin or ampicillin is suggested as a first-line agent for enterococci, vancomycin for penicillin allergy
Indwelling orthopedic hardware
- In general, antibiotic prophylaxis for urologic patients with total joint replacements, pins, plates, or screws is not indicated.
- Prophylaxis is advised for individuals at higher risk of seeding a prosthetic joint, including those with recently inserted implants (within 2 years) and/or host risk factors as delineated earlier
