Positive preoperative urine culture is a predictor of urinary tract infections and fever following suction mini-PCNL: results from a large, multicenter series from the Endourology section of the European Association of Urology and the STUMPS collabor
Positive preoperative MSUC is independently associated with a higher risk of postoperative fever and UTIs, particularly Clavien-Dindo grade 1 and 2 events, following SM-PCNL. Furthermore, these patients are more likely to have a positive intraoperative urine culture. Therefore, a preoperative MSUC should always be obtained, and a targeted antibiotic therapy should be administered irrespective of stone composition to reduce postoperative infectious risk.
