About this trial

This prospective clinical study aims to evaluate preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative characteristics of patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for urinary stone disease. A total of approximately 250 patients will be assessed to identify clinical, laboratory, and operative factors associated with postoperative fever and sepsis. By systematically collecting and analyzing perioperative data, the study seeks to determine independent predictors that may support improved risk stratification and patient safety in endourological practice.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18 years or older.

Patients scheduled to undergo retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for the treatment of renal or ureteral stones.

Completion of routine preoperative and postoperative clinical assessments required for RIRS.

Ability to provide informed consent.

Disqualifiers

Terminal-stage malignancy.

Bleeding diathesis or known immunodeficiency.

Active infectious condition at the time of surgery.

Patients deemed unsuitable for anesthesia or surgery by the Department of Anesthesiology.

Trial population

The study population consists of adult patients undergoing retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for the treatment of renal or ureteral stones at Erciyes University Hospital. All participants are evaluated using standard preoperative laboratory tests, imaging studies, and perioperative clinical assessments. Patients included in this registry represent a typical endourological population treated with RIRS in routine clinical practice. Individuals with active infections at the time of surgery, contraindications to surgery, or conditions preventing informed consent are excluded.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of Participants With Postoperative Sepsis

Postoperative sepsis will be defined according to Sepsis-3 criteria, based on suspected or confirmed infection and an increase of ≥ 2 points in the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score within 72 hours after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).

Time frame
Within 72 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes

1

Number of Participants With Postoperative Fever

Postoperative fever will be defined as a body temperature ≥38ºC recorded at least twice within 72 hours after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).

Time frame
Within 72 hours after surgery
2

Number of Participants With Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS)

SIRS will be defined according to standard clinical criteria, including abnormalities in body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and leukocyte count after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS).

Time frame
First 24 hours after surgery
3

Number of Participants With Positive Postoperative Urine Culture

Growth of ≥10⁵ CFU/mL of a single organism in a postoperative urine culture.

Time frame
Within 72 hours
4

Number of Participants with Positive Postoperative Blood Culture

Detection of pathogenic microorganisms from blood samples obtained in the postoperative period.

Time frame
Within 72 hours
