Abstract Background In 2019, the shortage of cefazolin led to the demand for cefotiam and cefmetazole exceeding the supply. The Department of Nephro-urology at Nagoya City University Hospital used fosfomycin as a substitute for perioperative prophylaxis. This retrospective preliminary study evaluated the efficacy of fosfomycin and cefotiam for preventing infections following ureterorenoscopy. Methods The study included 182 patients who underwent ureterorenoscopy between January 2018 and March 2021). Perioperative antibacterial treatment with fosfomycin (n = 108) or cefotiam (n = 74) was administered. We performed propensity score matching in both groups for age, sex, preoperative urinary catheter use, and preoperative antibiotic treatment. Results The fosfomycin and cefotiam groups (n = 69 per group) exhibited no significant differences in terms of patients’ median age, operative duration, preoperative urine white blood cell count, preoperative urine bacterial count, and the rate of preoperative antibiotic treatment. In the fosfomycin and cefotiam groups, the median duration of postoperative hospital stay was 3 and 4 days, respectively; the median maximum postoperative temperature was 37.3 °C and 37.2 °C, respectively. The fosfomycin group had lower postoperative C-reactive protein levels and white blood cell count than the cefotiam group. However, the frequency of fever > 38 °C requiring additional antibiotic administration was similar. Conclusions During cefotiam shortage, fosfomycin administration enabled surgeons to continue performing ureterorenoscopies without increasing the complication rate. |
