Urinary tract infection after endourological stone treatment is a common
complication. One of the main precautions is to capture sterile urine
culture before the operation according to the guidelines; however, no
comment was made regarding the timing of preoperative bladder urine
culture (PBUC) before the surgery. In countries with a high rate of
urinary system stone disease, waiting times are prolonged in stone
surgeries such as semirigid ureteroscopic lithotripsy (SULL) in tertiary
referral institutions. This causes an increase in the time between PBUC
and SULL. In this study, we aimed to interrogate the preoperative and
intraoperative factors that might cause systemic inflammatory responde
syndrome (SIRS) in the early postoperative period and to investigate the
effect of the time between PBUC and surgery on SIRS.
