Objective: There is ongoing debate regarding whether patients with a positive urine culture (UC) need to wait for the culture to turn negative following antimicrobial treatment before undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). This study aimed to evaluate the necessity of achieving a negative UC before PCNL and its association with postoperative systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis.
Methods: This prospective study included 147 patients with positive UCs who underwent PCNL at The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from March 2021 to April 2024.
