Double Loop Ureteral Stent Encrustation According to Indwelling Time: Results of a European Multicentric Study

Francois Legrand et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the actual ureteral stent medium-/long-term indwelling times and related encrustation rates perceived by urologists in daily practice across six European centers. The results showed that indwelling times of ureteral stents varied with different factors, while the risk of encrustation was relatively low in nonstone patients.

Risk Factors for Urosepsis After Ureteroscopy for Stone Disease: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Naeem Bhojani et al.

Summary: Urosepsis is a serious potential complication of ureteroscopic procedures for stone disease, and this systematic review with meta-analysis identified potential risk factors for postoperative urosepsis. Among patients undergoing URS for treatment of stone disease, older age, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, preoperative stent placement, positive urine culture, and longer procedure time were associated with increased risk of urosepsis.
