RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Current guidelines recommend screening and treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria prior to all urological surgeries breaching the mucosa. But little evidence supports this recommendation. At the least, risk stratification for postoperative UTI to support this strategy is lacking. The aim of this study was to define the associated factors for postoperative febrile infectious complications (UTI or surgical site infection) in urological surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective, multicentric study including all consecutive patients undergoing any urological surgery with preoperative urine culture. The primary outcome was the occurrence of a UTI or surgical site infection occurring within 30 days after surgery. RESULTS: From 2016 to 2023, in 10 centers, 2389 patients were included with 838 (35%) positive urine cultures (mono-/bi-/polymicrobial). Postoperative infections occurred in 106 cases (4.4%), of which 44 had negative urine cultures (41%), 42 had positive mono-/bimicrobial urine cultures (40%), and 20 had polymicrobial urine cultures (19%). In multivariable analysis, UTI during the previous 12 months of surgery (odds ratio [OR] 3.43; 95% CI 2.07-5.66; P < .001), monomicrobial/bimicrobial preoperative urine culture (OR 3.68; 95% CI 1.57-8.42; P = .002), polymicrobial preoperative urine culture (OR 2.85; 95% CI 1.52-5.14; P < .001), and operative time (OR 1.09; 95% CI 1.04-1.15; P < .001) were independent associated factors for postoperative febrile infections. CONCLUSIONS: Positive urine culture, including preoperative polymicrobial urine culture, prior to urological surgery was associated with postoperative infection. Additionally, patients experiencing infectious complications also had a higher incidence of other complications. The effectiveness of systematic preventive antibiotic therapy for a positive urine culture has not been conclusively established.

Background and objective: Data regarding open conversion (OC) during minimally invasive surgery (MIS) for renal tumors are reported from big databases, without precise description of the reason and management of OC. The objective of this study was to describe the rate, reasons, and perioperative outcomes of OC in a cohort of patients who underwent MIS for renal tumor initially. The secondary objective was to find the factors associated with OC. Methods: Between 2008 and 2022, of the 8566 patients included in the UroCCR project prospective database (NCT03293563), who underwent laparoscopic or robot-assisted minimally invasive partial (MIPN) or radical (MIRN) nephrectomy, 163 experienced OC. Each center was contacted to enlighten the context of OC: "emergency OC" implied an immediate life-threatening situation not reasonably manageable with MIS, otherwise "elective OC". To evaluate the predictive factors of OC, a 2:1 paired cohort on the UroCCR database was used. Key findings and limitations: The incidence rate of OC was 1.9% for all cases of MIS, 2.9% for MIRN, and 1.4% for MIPN. OC procedures were mostly elective (82.2%). The main reason for OC was a failure to progress due to anatomical difficulties (42.9%). Five patients (3.1%) died within 90 d after surgery. Increased body mass index (BMI; odds ratio [OR]: 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-1.09, p = 0.009) and cT stage (OR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.24-4.25, p = 0.008) were independent predictive factors of OC. Conclusions and clinical implications: In MIS for renal tumors, OC was a rare event (1.9%), caused by various situations, leading to impaired perioperative outcomes. Emergency OC occurred once every 300 procedures. Increased BMI and cT stage were independent predictive factors of OC. Patient summary: The incidence rate of open conversion (OC) in minimally invasive surgery for renal tumors is low. Only 20% of OC procedures occur in case of emergency, and others are caused by various situations. Increased body mass index and cT stage were independent predictive factors of OC.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: In the era of increased bacterial resistance, the main strategy is to reduce the prescription of antibiotics when possible. Nowadays, it is highly recommended to screen for asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), prior to urological surgery with potential mucosal breach or urine exposure. Screening and treating urinary colonization is a strategy widely adopted before radical and partial nephrectomy but without any evidence. Our main end point in this study is to analyze the relationship between preoperative urine culture and the risk of postoperative febrile urinary tract infection (UTI) or surgical-site infection (SSI) in partial or radical nephrectomy patients. METHODS: We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study between January 2016 and January 2023 in 11 French tertiary referral hospitals (TOCUS database). We collected the data for 269 patients including several pre-, intra-, and post-operative variables that could potentially increase the risk of postoperative UTI and SSI including preoperative urinary culture results. RESULTS: The incidence rate of postoperative UTI and SSI was 8.9% in our study. After conducting a logistic multivariate analysis, a propensity score matching analysis, and a subgroup analysis, we found no significant correlation between the urine culture and the postoperative UTI risk [OR = 1.2 (0.5-2.7) (p = 0.7)]. Only the postoperative non-infectious complications were related to a higher risk of postoperative UTI [OR = 12 (4-37), p < 0.001)]. CONCLUSION: Our research shows that screening and treating for ABU prior to radical or partial nephrectomy seems to be unnecessary to prevent postoperative UTI and SSI.

Pubic bone osteomyelitis is a rare infection, mostly related to urinary fistula. The published data about the medical or surgical management of this type of infection is relatively poor. In this case study of three patients, we describe our surgical technique for the management of urosymphyseal fistula complicated with pubic bone infection using pelvic filling flap by unilateral pedicled myocutaneous vertical rectus abdominus muscle flap. The first patient had the pelvic space filled with omentum flap. Unfortunately, the patient presented, postoperatively, an enteric fistula resulting from intestine incarceration on the resected bone. Considering this failure, the next two cases, have benefited from a Taylor flap to protect the peritoneal cavity by covering the residual pubic bone. Early complications were pyelonephritis and anemia (Clavien-Dindo 2), but no repeat surgery was required afterwards. The hospital stay for both cases were 26- and 12-days contrary to the first case who was hospitalized for 180-days. In conclusion, despite our limited experience in managing complicated urosymphyseal fistula, Taylor's flap, mainly used for gynecological or rectal surgery, might be a good reproducible solution for the surgical management of this kind of fistula with pubic debridement. It allows to protect the peritoneal cavity with fewer postoperative complications.
