Abstract

A single dose of 2 g tinidazole was given preoperatively to 70 patients undergoing elective hysterectomy; 76 patients served as controls. One patient in the drug therapy group and 10 in the control group had a temperature of 38 degrees C at some time after the first postoperative day. One patient in the tinidazole group and seven among the controls had abscess formation. The differences between the tinidazole and the control groups were highly significant. This simple prophylactic procedure reduced treatment costs and minimised infection following hysterectomy.
