Overview

Observational analysis reveals that preoperative urine cultures reduce postoperative infections in patients undergoing lithotripsy, implying better outcomes.

Key Points

  • Postoperative febrile urinary tract infections are less likely with a positive preoperative urine culture.
  • Patients with negative urine cultures before ureterorenoscopic lithotripsy show a significant reduction in infection risk.
  • Analysis of clinical records across multiple centers identifies urine culture status as a critical factor.
  • Highlighting the importance of preoperative assessments could improve patient management and outcomes.
