Early ureteroscopic treatment in patients with urosepsis associated with ureteral calculi is a safe approach. A pilot study.

Introduction: Emergency drainage of the urinary tract is the first necessary approach in patients with urosepsis secondary to obstructive ureteral calculi. The appropriate waiting time before definitive treatment has not been determined. We hypothesized that early ureteroscopic treatment after the patient has been stabilized is as safe as deferred treatment.
