Shorter antibiotics before prostate surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares different lengths of antibiotic treatment before HoLEP surgery for an enlarged prostate to see if a shorter course is just as safe. It might mean fewer side effects and less antibiotic use for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
