Fever and infection risk after kidney stone surgery
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for RIRS to treat a stone in your kidney or ureter (the tube from the kidney to the bladder).
- You have completed standard check-ups before and after surgery.
- You are willing and able to give your consent to participate.

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 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 looks at how well a procedure called RIRS (a type of keyhole surgery to remove kidney stones using a small camera) works when done with only local anesthesia (numbing medicine) instead of general anesthesia. It may be a good option if you have a 1-4 cm stone in your kidney or upper ureter and are in generally good health.
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 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 study tests a technique during kidney stone removal surgery (RIRS) where the surgeon fully drains the kidney system at the end of the procedure. Researchers want to see if this approach improves how quickly patients recover and reduces complications.
