Throughout the world ESWL is nowadays the treatment of choice in renoureteral stones and ever smaller stones can be treated. We have undertaken the present study to evaluate post treatment infective complications in low-risk patients. A prospective study has been performed on 150 non-infected patients before ESWL treated for renal stones whose maximum diameter was less than 15 mm. None out of this group underwent pretreatment manoeuvres. Urinecultures were checked before and after treatment (3 days – 30 days). Out of 150 third day urine cultures 11 were positive but only 5 patients presented a symptomatic infection. All patients whose urineculture was positive received antibiotic treatment. All urinecultures were negative at the 30 days follow-up. The low incidence of urinary symptomatic and asymptomatic infections in our series and the rapid cure by antibiotic therapy suggest performing ESWL treatment in selected patients without any antibiotic prophylaxis. Antibiotic therapy will be set up just in symptomatic or asymptomatic post-treatment infections.

A Prospective Study

Aims and Objective. “Postpercutaneous nephrolithotomy nephrostogram” (PPNN) is routinely performed in most of the centers. No published series could be found in the literature without post percutaneous nephrolithotomy nephrostogram. Hence, the aim of our study is to highlight that post percutaneous nephrolithotomy nephrostogram is not mandatory and it only adds to cost and morbidity without adding any information in the management of such patients.Methods. It was a prospective study from 2005 to 2012, conducted in our institute. It included 119 patients of renal stones who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy performed under the guidance of a single surgeon. Postoperative nephrostogram was not done in any of the patients.Results. Complete stone clearance was achieved in 97.5% of patients and 2.5% of patients needed two to three sessions of ESWL later on. None of the patients needed second look percutaneous nephrolithotomy or nephrostogram.Conclusion. Postpercutaneous nephrolithotomy nephrostogram increases chances of infection, inconvenience, contrast related complications, and cost, with no added advantage over plain X-ray KUB, and it should not be done as a routine investigation prior to the removal of PCN tube in patients with complete stone clearance.
