Abstract
In a randomized study, we evaluated the efficacy of the ''open vaginal vault'' method of abdominal hysterectomy, when cefonicid is administr ated preoperatively, in reducing postoperative febrile morbidity. The vaginal vault was left open in 72 patients and closed in 65 patients i n control groups. No significant difference in postoperative febrile m orbidity was noticed in the two groups.
