Preventing stone infection after kidney stone surgery
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.

Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are scheduled for PCNL surgery to remove kidney stones

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 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 pilot study tests a new surgical tool that combines a camera and suction to remove kidney stones. It may help people with stones of a certain size get a more efficient procedure.
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.
This trial compares two different surgeries for removing a single kidney stone that is 2 to 3 centimeters in size. One method uses a flexible scope with a suction tube, and the other uses a small incision in the back. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
This study tests different ways to manage pain after a kidney stone removal procedure called percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). It aims to find which method works best to keep you comfortable with fewer side effects.
