Factors predicting postoperative febrile urinary tract infection following percutaneous nephrolithotomy in prepubertal children

TLDR
Age, side of PCNL, staghorn stones, tract size, operative time, and blood transfusion were independent predictors of FUTI, and first-, second-, and third-generation cephalosporins are equally effective for prophylaxis in prepubertal children undergoing PCNL.

Predicting and comparing postoperative infections in different stratification following PCNL based on nomograms

TL;DR: The results suggest that the more severe the infection is, the more accurate the model predicts and that the occurrence of severe infection mostly is related to the patients' homeostasis.

The Role of Antegrade Irrigation via Percutaneous Nephrostomy on Surgical Outcomes in Semirigid Ureteroscopy among Patients with Upper Ureteral Stones.

TL;DR: Antegrade irrigation via percutaneous nephrostomy during ureteroscopy has a higher stone-free rate with a shorter operation time without an increased urinary tract infection risk.

Outcomes of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in Preschool Age Group: A Single-Center Study.

TL;DR: PCNL is a feasible and effective method in preschool age group with acceptable complications and high success rates, and presence of staghorn stone is predictive for complications, while number of stones is predicted for success in the preschool agegroup.

Identification and reduction of surgical error using simulation

TL;DR: The nature of errors and their role in simulator training are discussed in detail and can also be useful to "teach" errors, learn from them and develop strategies to avoid them.
