Fever and infection risks after kidney stone surgery
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at why some people develop fever or a serious infection after a procedure to remove kidney stones. It aims to find risk factors so doctors can better prevent these complications.

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 the real-world treatment of infected kidney stones that are blocking the urine flow. It aims to learn more about how patients with fever and infection respond to care, which may help improve treatment decisions.
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 safe and effective a minimally invasive procedure called RIRS (using a flexible scope to break up and remove stones) is when done under local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. If you have a kidney or upper ureteral stone, this may help you avoid general anesthesia and recover faster.
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.
