Abstrakt: Percutaneous extraction of renal stones Is associated with a risk of infection, which sometimes can be severe as a result of the intraoperative introduction of a ureteral catheter, the nephroscopy itself and the fact that a nephrostomy tube sometimes is left in place. It generally is accepted that patients with a preoperative urinary tract infection should be covered during the operation by an appropriate antibiotic. However, the need for routine prophylactic antibiotic treatment in patients with sterile urine preoperatively still is a subject of debate.
