Silent stones: could removing them stop recurring UTIs?
NCT ID NCT04495699
Summary
This study looked at whether removing small, non-blocking kidney stones helps reduce repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Patients with recurrent UTIs and these 'silent' stones chose with their doctor to either have the stones removed or to simply monitor them. Researchers then tracked their UTI rates for a year to see if surgery made a difference, aiming to provide better guidance for future patients.
