Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Shock Wave Lithotripsy in Patients with Sterile Urine Before Treatment May be Unnecessary: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Prophylactic antibiotics could not improve symptoms, and decreased neither the rate of fever and positive urine culture, nor the incidence of urinary tract infection after shock wave lithotripsy. Antibiotic prophylaxis is not necessary for shock wave lithotripsy, especially when no or low risk factors are presented.

“…However, control of bacteriuria and prophylaxis is recommended in cases of internal stent and treatment, due to the increased bacterial burden (e.g. indwelling catheter, nephrostomy tube, or infectious stones) [361][362][363][364][365][366][367][368][369][370] (LE: 1a-1b, GR: A) (Table 23).…”

“…Antimicrobial prophylaxis is not recommended as a standard application in extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (35). However, it is indicated to use prophylaxis for the control of bacteriuria and in elevated bacterial load, such as permanent catheter, nephrostomy tube, or presence of infective stones (44).…”
