- Urosepsis is a common complication following flexible ureterorenoscopy (F-URS), occurring in up to 4.3% of cases and accounting for significant healthcare costs.
- A study involving 486 F-URS procedures at eleven French centers evaluated clinical factors that increase the risk of urosepsis, identifying key risk indicators.
- Results indicated that a type IV calculus (carbapatite or struvite), along with factors like coronary insufficiency and larger stone size, significantly increase the risk of post-operative urosepsis, emphasizing the need for enhanced monitoring in these cases.
Background: This prospective study assessed the efficacy of prostate artery embolization after failure of a trial without catheter in patients suffering a first episode of acute urinary retention as a result of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
