Current evidence suggests that among patients undergoing URS for treatment of stone disease, the risk of postoperative urosepsis was 5.0%. Older age, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, preoperative stent placement, a positive urine culture, and longer procedure time were associated with increased postoperative urosepsis risk. These results will assist urologists with preoperative risk stratification before ureteroscopic procedures.
