Urine test after kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial checks whether a simple test on the first urine after kidney stone surgery can help find infections early. It only includes adults having a specific type of stone removal who are infection-free before surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You need a surgery called percutaneous nephrolithotomy to remove kidney stones.
- You do not have an active urinary tract infection before surgery.
- You do not have stones in both kidneys.
- You have not used antibiotics in the past 2 weeks.

This trial looks at a kidney-stone operation done through the back of the body (“percutaneous nephrolithotomy”) but without placing tubes after surgery. It may help patients with certain stone sizes by reducing the need for drainage equipment, but eligibility depends on stone type and your health.
This study looks at a blood test done before percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), a procedure to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see whether results can predict who is more likely to develop infections or strong whole-body inflammation after surgery.
This trial tests if a special rinse during kidney stone surgery can reduce infections in the kidney. It's for adults having a type of surgery called PCNL (where a small tube is placed into the kidney to break up stones) and who have stones caused by an infection.
This trial tests if using a special suction tube during surgery to remove kidney stones can lower the risk of infection. It is for people with small to medium-sized stones in the kidney or upper ureter.
This study checks if taking a urine culture two weeks before kidney stone surgery affects outcomes. It may help ensure your surgery goes smoothly by confirming your urine is free of infection.
This study tests whether washing the urinary tract with antibiotics during kidney stone surgery can help prevent infections. It's for people scheduled for a procedure called RIRS to remove kidney stones.
