Dr. Safdar Hayat Hussain, Dr. K. Saravanan

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Ureteroscopic lithotripsy is now a standard treatment for urinary stones with minimal invasiveness and high success.Though a safe procedure feile urinary tract infection (UTI) after URS is not rare. So we aimed to identify the risk factors of feile UTI after URS. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Between October 2017 to MAR 2019, patients underwent URS for ureteral stones. The rate of postoperative feile UTI and the causative pathogens were verified, and then risk factors for postoperative feile UTI were identified and analysed using statistical analysis RESULTS & OBSERVATIONS: Out of 680 patients, postoperative feile UTI occurred in 96 patients (14.1%). Statistical analysis showed preoperative pyuria,pyelonephritis,,,impacted calculus ,and duration of surgery>70 minutes to be significant. CONCLUSION: Overall, feile UTI after URS occurred in 14.1% of patients, and the longer operative time,pyuria,pyelonephritis,impacted calculus are important independent predictive factor for this complication. These patient may benefit from prior counselling,vigilant post op monitoring,and possibly higher grade antibiotics
