A pilot intervention trial to reduce the use of post-procedural antimicrobials after common endourologic surgeries
Implementation of a bundled intervention was associated with reduced post-procedural antimicrobial use at one of three sites, with no increase in complications. These findings demonstrate both the safety and challenge of guideline implementation for optimal perioperative antimicrobial prophylaxis.This trial was registered on clinicaltrials.gov, NCT04196777.
