      the post-surgical urinary infection in gynecology].
PG  - 454-8
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of cranberry extract capsules taken during the 
      perioperative period upon the post-surgical urinary infection (UTI) in 
      gynecology. DESIGN: Clinical prospective pilot trial. SETTING: Obstetrics and 
      Gynecology Department, Merciful Brothers Hospital, Brno and Obstetrics and 
      Gynecology Department, Charles University 2nd Medical Faculty and Teaching 
      Hospital Motol, Prague. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The cohort consisted of 286 women 
      who underwent hysterectomy and/or anterior vaginal repair (with or without 
      anti-incontinence operation) in the above hospitals in the period 1. 9. 2006 -30. 
      6. 2007. 132 women from among the total were given cranberry extract capsules 
      (equiv. 17,000 mg of fresh fruit) twice a day, 4 days before and 5 days after the 
      surgery. The rest were the control group. The clinical state and the analysis of 
      catheterized urine including bacteriology were determined on the day of surgery 
      and on the 6th postoperative day. Cases with preoperative UTI and those with 
      antibiotic therapy (due to other than urology indications) were excluded from the 
      study. Thus the statistical analysis was made in the remaining 117 patients with 
      prophylactic cranberry capsules and 139 controls. RESULTS: There were 30.8% of 
      positive cultured urines, 18.0% of pyuric specimens and 6.8% symptomatic urinary 
      infections in the group of cranberry prophylaxis. Controls had significant 
      bacteriuria in 27.3%, pyuria in 23.7% and symptomatic UTI in 5.0%. Differences 
      were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The intake of cranberry extracts 
      in the perioperative period (4 days before and 5 days after the surgery) did not 
      affect the number of post-surgical UTIs.
