    Abstract

    In general urology practise, calculus renal disease is one of the most prevalent types of disorders seen, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is the therapy of choice for patients who have significant amounts of renal calculi. Even while infectious complications of PCNL aren't very prevalent, they nonetheless have the potential to cause considerable morbidity and even death. Infection-related consequences of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) include postoperative urinary tract infections (UTIs), secondary haemorrhage of infectious origin, and surgical site infections (SSIs). These problems can lead to considerable morbidity. Additionally, bacteruria, sepsis, and septicemic shock are recognised and have been recorded in several investigations. It is well knowledge that the use of perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis can effectively cut down on the risk of postoperative infectious problems. In this work, an effort is made to locate and comprehend the intra-operative urine and stone culture in order to provide more effective preventive antibiotics.
