Answer: Surgery during active infection Hello and thank you for your question.I would definitely let your surgeon know that you have an active infection. If you have a simple UTI, I'm sure with a short course of antibiotics you will easily be able to clear it by the date of your surgery and have no problem. A kidney infection is a bit more severe, and may need to be treated longer. Personally, I don't operate on patients with active infections, however, as I said, if you have a simple UTI I'm sure you'll be fine by the 20th. Best of luck!
