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.
Abstract
Ureteral stents with extraction strings were not associated with an increased risk of postoperative UTI or complications in our series.
