Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery Low Risk Trial
Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital
Summary
In the treatment of kidney stones and upper ureteral stones, flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy has become the mainstream choice due to its minimally invasive nature and high safety. However, there is still no universal consensus on the use of prophylactic antibiotics before surgery. Taiwan, located in the subtropical region, is one of the areas in the world with a high incidence of urinary tract stones. Currently, there are no established guidelines for the use of prophylactic antibiotics before flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy in Taiwan. This study aims to evaluate the differences between single-dose, different types of prophylactic antibiotics in generally healthy adult patients undergoing flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy.
