Urine culture may predict fever after kidney stone surgery
NCT ID NCT07514676
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is looking at 150 adults having a specific type of kidney stone surgery called FANS-RIRS. Researchers want to see if the results of a routine urine culture, taken before surgery, can predict whether a patient will develop a fever after the operation. The goal is to help doctors better understand and manage infection risks in these patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better identify patients at risk of fever after kidney stone surgery, leading to improved infection management.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only looks for a link between urine culture results and fever, so it won't directly change care yet.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of adult patients with upper urinary tract stones who are scheduled to undergo flexible and navigable suction-assisted retrograde intrarenal surgery (FANS-RIRS) at the study center. All eligible participants will undergo routine preoperative urine routine analysis and urine culture before surgery. In accordance with institutional clinical practice, patients without significant pyuria or clinical evidence of active urinary tract infection will proceed to surgery without waiting for the final urine culture result. Participants will be prospectively enrolled and classified according to their final preoperative urine culture results for outcome analysis.
