Core Tip Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is the preferred treatment for kidney stones larger than 2 cm. It offers faster recovery and a higher stone removal rate. However, its complication profile remains significant, including hemorrhage and urinary tract infections (UTIs). The current prospective study identified factors such as diabetes mellitus, history of preoperative pyuria, large stone size, multiple punctures, long operative time, intraoperative double-J stent placement, blood transfusion, residual stones, and extended urethral catheterization as influencing the risk of post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy urinary tract infection. Nonetheless, diabetes mellitus, larger stone size, and residual stones were independent predictors.
