Can antibiotic wash and suction stop Post-Surgery infections?
NCT ID NCT07655050
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using an antibiotic (gentamicin) in the irrigation fluid and a special suction tube during kidney stone surgery can lower the chance of fever, inflammation, or sepsis afterward. About 180 adults having this surgery will be randomly assigned to receive one, both, or neither of these additions. The goal is to find a simple way to make the procedure safer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Gentamicin (antibiotic) in irrigation fluid
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a simple way to lower infection risk after kidney stone surgery, making the procedure safer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 180 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The interventions may not significantly reduce infections, and gentamicin can cause allergic reactions or kidney issues.
