In this study, we showed that prolongation of urine culture duration taken before SULL did not affect postoperative SIRS rates. On the other hand, we concluded that the outcome revealed in our study may be a result of the fact that factors such as stone burden, surgical time and history of recurrent UTI, identified in the literature as risk factors for infectious complications postoperatively, were observed more frequently in SIRS patients in comparison to patients with a normal postoperative period. The possible impact of the lengthening the waiting time in the study may have been obscured by these variables.
