摘要 Objective: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is commonly used in the management of large renal stones. Postoperative infections are one of the most common complications of this procedure. The present study is to determine and assess the factors that may increase the risk to develop fever and urinary sepsis after PCNL. Methods: A total of 60 patients (38 males and 22 females) with a mean age of 40.25 years enrolled in this study in Sulaimania Teaching Hospital. Patients had renal stone disease need operation with different socioeconomic status, body mass index and different type and size of stones were included in this study. Patients with preoperative positive urine culture and sensitivity were excluded. Preoperative investigations done for all patients. All Patients received prophylactic antibiotic gentamicin intravenously at the induction of anaesthesia. Renal pelvis urine sample were taken from all patients after puncturing the pelvicalyceal system and send for culture and sensitivity. Patients were monitored closely in the postoperative period for the development of fever and sepsis. Results: Mean duration of the operations was 77.08 min ranged 40-120 min. All patients had postoperative nephrostomy tube. Seventeen (28.33%) patients developed post PCNL fever and the statistically significant factors for post PCNL fever were diabetes mellitus (DM) (p=0.001), stone burden (p=0.001), number of the stones (p < 0.001), degree of hydronephrosis (p=0.001), duration of the operation (p < 0.001), residual stones (p=0.001) and number of tracts (p=0.038). Three (5.00%) patients developed post PCNL sepsis, and the statistically significant risk factors for post PCNL sepsis were duration of the operation (p=0.013) and intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drop in haemoglobin (HB) level (p=0.046). Conclusion: DM, staghorn stones, degree of hydronephrosis, duration of the operation and number of tracts are risk factors for post PCNL fever, while number of stones, intraoperative blood loss, duration of the operation and residual stones are risk factors for post PCNL sepsis.
