How urine culture timing affects kidney stone surgery results
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a urine culture taken within 2 weeks before surgery and the result showed no infection.

This trial compares two methods used during surgery to treat kidney stones. It looks at whether one type of tube (a fan-shaped access sheath) causes less kidney injury after surgery than the standard tube. This could help patients have a safer recovery.
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 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.
This study looks at whether certain factors increase the chance of fever or serious infection after a type of kidney stone surgery called retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). The goal is to help doctors better understand and prevent these complications.
This study measures a new score called the pelvic floor fatigue index, which looks at how tired the pelvic floor muscles get, in people who have a ureteral stent placed after kidney stone surgery. The goal is to see if this score can help predict or prevent bladder problems that stents can cause.
This trial compares a vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath to a standard one during kidney stone surgery (retrograde intrarenal surgery). The goal is to see which might work better and be safer for patients.
