Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common complication after pelvic floor surgery. Antibiotics as prophylaxis may reduce the prevalence of UTI's by 50%, but bacterial resistance may be a large disadvantage, necessitating the search for other possible prophylactic options. Recent research found a 50% reduction in the rate of UTI's with the use of cranberry capsules after elective gynecologic surgery, suggesting that cranberry capsules may serve as a good prophylaxis. The aim of this study was to assess whether perioperative cranberry prophylaxis reduces the risk of clinical overt UTI after elective pelvic floor surgery with indwelling catheter.

盆底手术后蔓越莓用于预防尿路感染：一项随机对照试验。

尿路感染（UTI）是骨盆底手术后的常见并发症。抗生素作为预防措施可将UTI的患病率降低50％，但细菌耐药性可能是一个很大的缺点，因此有必要寻找其他可能的预防措施。最近的研究发现，选择性妇科手术后使用蔓越莓胶囊可使UTI的发生率降低50％，这表明蔓越莓胶囊可以作为一种很好的预防方法。这项研究的目的是评估围手术期的蔓越莓预防措施是否能降低留置导管选择性盆底手术后临床明显的UTI风险。
