Chapters Transcript Video Critically Evaluating The Role For Postoperative Antibiotics In Patients Undergoing Urethroplasty With Buccal Mucosa Graft: A Claims Database Analysis Detailed by Logan Galansky, MD, PGY-3, at the AUA Annual Meeting 2023. In this study, critically evaluating the role of postoperative antibiotics in patients undergoing erythro plasty with Buckle mucosa. We were looking to question the dogma of administering prophylactic oral antibiotics after urethroplasty, since there's overall a lack of true evidence supporting their use. And so, uh we did a retrospective cohort study using a large claims database. And what we found was that there was no significant can benefit from the use of postoperative antibiotics on both infectious complications, meaning new U T I within 30 days, post op surgical site infection or C diff infection. Um or long term revision rates after urethroplasty with use of Buckle Me posts graph in patients with a negative preoperative urine culture. So hopefully this can help improve antibiotic stewardship going forward for this reconstructive patient population. Created by
