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