ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how the timing of urine culture tests before retrograde intrarenal surgery (a procedure to remove kidney stones) affects the risk of complications after surgery, particularly infections. The goal is to find out the best time to take these urine tests to ensure they are still accurate and that the urine is clear of infection when patients go into surgery. Researchers want to compare urine cultures taken two weeks before the surgery with those taken as close to the surgery date as possible.

To participate in this study, patients need to be over 18 years old and must have had a urine culture taken two weeks before their surgery that showed no signs of infection. The trial is currently looking for participants, and it’s open to all genders. If you decide to join, you can expect to contribute to important research that could help improve surgical outcomes for future patients. It's important to know that certain individuals, such as those with specific kidney conditions or infections, may not be eligible for this trial.
