Risk of Postoperative Urinary Tract Infection and Complications with Ureteral Stents With and Without Extraction Strings in Pediatric Robotic Pyeloplasty

Key Points

• To assess the risk of postoperative urinary tract infections and complications associated with ureteral stents in pediatric robotic pyeloplasty.
• Analysis of ureteral stent usage with and without extraction strings.
• Evaluation of postoperative outcomes related to urinary tract infections and complications.
• No increased risk of postoperative urinary tract infections with stents that have extraction strings.
• Complications associated with both types of stents were similar.
