Prophylactic antibiotics for transcervical intrauterine procedures

Sepsis following hysteroscopic removal of retained products of conception: A case report and literature review

“…Current evidence does not support the routine use of prophylactic antibiotics for hysteroscopic surgery, with the majority of literature indicating no reduction in postoperative infection rates. [ 4 ] However, based on our synthesis of identified infection risk factors, we suggest considering prophylactic antibiotics for patients with specific high-risk features during hysteroscopy. These factors include RPOC, submucosal myoma, endometriosis and adenomyosis.…”

Antibiotics Prophylaxis for Operative Hysteroscopy: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Clinical Study

“…Furthermore, the double randomization, transcervical resection versus laser, and antibiotics versus no-antibiotics constitute another confounding factor that limits the practical implications of the study. 10 A Cochrane review indicated that high-quality evidence on the significance of antibiotic prophylaxis before transcervical operative procedures is still lacking, 5 and there is no evidence to either support or discourage the use of antibiotics to prevent infection after transcervical intrauterine procedures. Kasius et al 11 investigated in an RCT the prevalence of infectious complications and the effect of prophylactic antibiotic treatment after diagnostic office hysteroscopy.…”

A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess Whether Antibiotic Administration Should Be Recommended During Office Operative Hysteroscopy

“…The available literature on this topic revealed that infectious complications after office hysteroscopy are uncommon, [1][2][3][4][5][6] and a Cochrane review recently showed that high-quality evidence on the significance of antibiotic prophylaxis before transcervical operative procedures is still lacking. 17 In addition, in recent multicenter randomized controlled study, the prevalence of infectious complications after office diagnostic hysteroscopy performed in a cohort of infertile women was found to be 0.4% (1 of 631 women) and according to these data, the authors did not recommend antibiotic prophylaxis. 18 In a prospective study, Agostini et al 19 investigated a group of women undergoing hysteroscopic surgery without antibiotic administration.…”
