Brief Title: Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Urinary Catheter Removal After Radical Prostatectomy
Official Title: Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Urinary Catheter Removal After Radical Prostatectomy
Study ID: NCT02247960
Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to determine whether antibiotics prophylaxis at the time of urinary catheter removal decreases the number of symptomatic urinary tract infections in patients after radical prostatectomy. In addition, the investigators aim to determine whether antibiotic prophylaxis is potentially harmful to patients (e.g. adverse reactions from antibiotic use, resistant bacteria in the urine, Clostridium difficile infections etc.). The investigators also aim to identify specific populations that may be at higher risk of developing urinary tract infections with urinary catheter use after radical prostatectomy.
