Can we predict dangerous infections after kidney stone surgery?
NCT ID NCT07295925
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow about 250 adults having a common kidney stone surgery called RIRS. Researchers will collect information before, during, and after surgery to find out which patients are more likely to develop fever or a serious infection called sepsis. The goal is to help doctors better identify and protect high-risk patients in the future.
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 or sepsis after kidney stone surgery, leading to safer care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not testing a new treatment. It may not find clear predictors, and results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for the treatment of renal or ureteral stones at Erciyes University Hospital. All participants are evaluated using standard preoperative laboratory tests, imaging studies, and perioperative clinical assessments. Patients included in this registry represent a typical endourological population treated with RIRS in routine clinical practice. Individuals with active infections at the time of surgery, contraindications to surgery, or conditions preventing informed consent are excluded.
