An adequate protocol for antimicrobial prophylaxis (AMP) in radical prostatectomy (RP) has not been established. We retrospectively compared the occurrence of perioperative infection following RP between two different AMP protocols. This study included 340 cases with prostate cancer who underwent RP at our institution between January 2005 and December 2008. The 1-day group consisting of 93 cases received a second generation cephem, cefotiam, intravenously during and after the operation on the operative day. The single dose group consisting of 247 cases received cefotiam during the operation only. The incidence of surgical site infection (SSI）and remote infection (RI) was retrospectively investigated. There was no significant difference in the rate of SSI and RI occurrence between the 1-day group (2.2, 0%) and single dose group (3.6, 0.4%) (p=0.52). The single dose protocol of AMP seems sufficient for prevention of perioperative infection in RP.
