# Somani BK. 2025: Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Shockwave Lithotripsy: A Move Towards Stewardship and Individualised Care. Hans-Göran Tiselius Monday, 09 February 2026 416 Hits [ 0 Comments ](https://www.storzmedical.com/en/disciplines/literature-database-blog/database-lithotripsy/somani-bk-2025/?layout=listings#comments) Bhaskar K Somani [doi: 10.1016/j.eururo.2025.09.4142](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41046178/) ## Abstract no abstract available ## Comment Hans-Göran Tiselius This Editorial comment on the need of antibiotics for patients treated with SWL refers to an article published in European Urology, (the APPEAL Trial). In general, the discussion deals with choice of antibiotics and the relatively low need of antibiotics in standard SWL. It is mentioned that there is a need of antibiotics in patients with stents and percutaneous catheters. In my opinion this need is strict and limited to percutaneous catheters but not obligatory for patients with internal stents. Hans-Göran Tiselius 0 #### Comments No comments made yet.
