Background and purpose: Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgery in women and is followed by post-operative infections of respiratory and urinary tracts, wound, volva and boils. Prophylaxis with antibiotics is a preventive measure against post-hysterectomy infections. This comparitive study was conducted to compare the abdominal post-hysterectomy infections managed with 24 h-versus 7 days-antibiotic medication regimen. Materials and methods : The study design was a randomized controlled clinical trial. 506 patients matching the criteria of the study were selected and randomly allocated into two groups. 6 patients were excluded from the study because of the need for intervension of bladder pelvis and intestine. 300 patients were divided randomly in two groups of 24 h-and 7 days-antibiotic therapy, both groups were followed up for febrile complications while admitted and for up to two weeks later. Results: Two groups were matched for age, level of education, BMÏ, hemoglobin prior to operation number of the admitted days and duration of surgery. There was no significant difference in occurance of febrile complications in two groups. Çonclusion: Due to lack of difference in post operation febrile complications for 24 h-and 7 days-oral antibiotic prophylaxis, it is recommended to confice antibiotic only to 24 hours and avoid unnecessary prescription of antibiotic at home, which is common in iran.
