Welcome to EmpowHER. I am truly sorry to hear about what you have had to endure and still getting urinary tract infections.
I understand you have been on antibiotic therapy and seen many urologists. In addition to the surgery, was any radiologic studies, such as renal ultrasound, cT scan or MRI done?
Unfortunately, I haven't much to offer except to ask if the physicians mentioned or suspected ureteral strictures, ureteral reflux, urinary tract tumors, and urinary tract diversions. I found an article that suggested patients with bacterial persistence should be evaluated thoroughly to exclude potential structural or functional abnormalities.
