Urinary tract infection prevention after midurethral slings in pelvic floor reconstructive surgery: a systematic review and meta ‐analysis

ConclusionsBased on the best available evidence, postoperative oral nitrofurantoin is not effective at reducing UTI/bacteriuria rates in catheterized women after midurethral sling with or without concomitant pelvic reconstructive surgery for prolapse. For midurethral sling alone, pre ‐operative antibiotic prophylaxis may not be needed for UTI prevention.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
