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.
