Introduction: Urosepsis post Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a dreaded complication with high mortality rate. Objective: To find the association of preoperative midstream urine culture (PMUC), renal pelvic urine culture (RPUC) and renal stone culture (RSC) in the post-operative development of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) and urosepsis. Methods: It was a prospective cross-sectional observational study. The study included all symptomatic patients meeting the inclusion criteria who underwent Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy from 18th August, 2019 to 28th March, 2020. PMUC, RPUC and RSC were done and analyzed accordingly. Results: A total of 140 (73 males, 67 females) patients underwent PCNL. PMUC was positive in 15% (21/140) as compared to RPUC and RSC which were 7.9 % (11/140) and 4.3% (6/140) of total cases. None of the patients had simultaneous culture positivity in all the three types of specimens. Only two (1.42%) patients had simultaneous positivity in pelvic urine culture and stone culture. The organisms obtained in pelvic urine culture and stone culture were same i.e. Klebsiella and Escherichia coli respectively. Only two (1.42%) patients developed SIRS post PCNL, where in both the cases stone culture were positive but PMUC and RPUC were negative. Urosepsis was found in none of the patients. In the Fischer Exact test PMUC and RPUC were not statistically significant in the detection of SIRS post PCNL. Whereas only RSC showed statistical significance in the detection of SIRS. Conclusion: Stone culture has high prediction for SIRS and it might be considered for patients undergoing PCNL in order to prevent stone related infective complications.

Objective: This study evaluated the correlation between preoperative urine culture and intraoperative stone culture and the impact of stone culture findings on post-operative systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Material & Method:Patients with kidney stones who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) from February to May 2012 were prospectively analyzed. A pre-operative urine culture was obtained in the morning before the operation, fragmented stone collected were cultured in Departement of Microbiology. Patients were monitored closely in the postoperative period for signs of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Results:A total of 33 patients underwent PCNL and examined for urine cultures, stone culture and postoperative SIRS, 15 (45.45%) patients with positive urine culture, 18 patients (54.54%) with positive stone culture but only 1 patient (3.03%) had same pathogen (p = 0.629). Ten patients (55.6%) with positive stone cultures had evidence of systemic inflammatory respose syndrome postoperatively. The calculated stone culture value for sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 100%, 65.2%, 55.6%, and 100%. Preoperative hydronephrosis (p = 0.003) and operative time (p = 0.001) are identified as the key risk factors for SIRS after PCNL.Conclusion: Positive stone culture are better predictors for SIRS after PCNL. Stone culture examination is an essential in directing the proper antibiotic therapyin patients with SIRS after PCNL.  Keywords: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), urine culture, stone culture, systemic inflammatory response syndrome after PCNL.
