Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) remains the preferred modality of treatment for large renal calculi >2cm [1].
Introduction

PCNL has an estimated complication rate of 20.5%, including a risk of sepsis approaching 5% even in the presence of a sterile pre-operative urine, and with the routine use of peri-operative antibiotics [2].

Intra-operative kidney stone culture may help in the post-operative septic patient to guide antibiotic treatment.
Introduction
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefit of pre-operative midstream urine culture (MSUC), stone analysis and stone culture (SC) in predicting sepsis risk at PCNL.
Aim
A prospective analysis of pre-operative MSUC; SC, stone analysis and sepsis for all patients undergoing PCNL at Casey hospital, Monash Health, between May 2013 and May 2014.
Methods
2 or more of the following:
Temp >38°C (100.4°F) or < 36°C (96.8°F)
Heart Rate > 90bpm
WBC > 12,000/mm3, < 4,000/mm3
Respiratory Rate > 20 or PaCO2 < 32 mm Hg
AND:
SBP <90 or SBP Drop ≥ 40 mm Hg of normal
All patients were prospectively investigated with a MSUC. All patients with a positive result were prescribed appropriate antibiotics, and proceeded with PCNL when results were subsequently confirmed negative.
Ceftriaxone 1g or Gentamicin 2.5mg/kg, and Ampicillin 1g iv.
Antiseptic preparation was 10% povidone-iodine for the genitalia and 1% iodine/70%alcohol for the PCNL site.
Methods
PCNL was performed with a single track, undertaken in the Casey modified supine position [3] under one surgeon (PM).

4 (7.5%) procedures were complicated with sepsis.
3/4 required intensive care treatment.
6 (11.2%) patients had a positive pre-operative MSUC. All were treated
with appropriate pre-operative antibiotics. 5 (83.3%) of these patients
still grew concordant pure growth micro-organisms from their stone
culture, but none suffered post-operative sepsis.
13 (24.5%) patients had positive stone cultures, 8 of which had negative
preoperative MSUC’s, including the 4/13 (30.8%) who developed post-
operative sepsis.

Results
• Statistically significant increased risk of stone colonisation in struvite compared to calcium oxalate stones (p=0.03)
• Increased risk of sepsis in mixed uric acid stones compared with pure calcium oxalate stones (p=0.05)
Pre-operative MSUC is mandatory.
Pre-operative MSUC is, however, not sensitive
for predicting positive stone culture and
subsequent sepsis risk.
Stone culture should be mandatory, to help
direct post-operative antibiosis. Particularly in
those patients with urate and struvite calculi.
Conclusions
Sample size. Tertiary referral. Data on DM, obesity, transfusion, dual
access, operative time.
