ObjectivesIn March 2019, cefazolin was unavailable owing to difficulty in procuring the active ingredient. Furthermore, the supply of alternative drugs, such as cefotiam and cefmetazole, was limited. In the Department of Nephro‐Urology, fosfomycin‐based drugs are used as substitutes for cefazolin, which is a perioperative prophylactic antibacterial drug. Herein, we investigated the effectiveness of fosfomycin sodium and cefotiam in preventing infection after endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery as a retrospective preliminary study.MethodsA total of 200 patients who underwent endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery at our department between August 2017 and January 2021 were included. The patients were administered cefotiam (n= 95) or fosfomycin (n= 105) as perioperative antibacterial agents. There were no significant differences in the median age or surgery time between the cefotiam and fosfomycin groups. Propensity score matching was performed to match the preoperative urine bacterial counts of both groups. Sixty‐eight patients were selected from each group.ResultsThe median postoperative hospital stay duration was 4 days for the two groups. The median maximum postoperative temperatures were 37.5 and 37.4°C, respectively. There were no significant differences between the maximum postoperative temperatures in both groups. Furthermore, there were no differences between the groups regarding the white blood cell counts, C‐reactive protein levels, and aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels postoperatively, as well as in terms of postoperative fever requiring additional antibiotics.ConclusionsDuring a period of difficulty in acquiring cefazolin and cefotiam, the use of fosfomycin allowed us to continue with the procedure without increased clinical complications.
