History of Obstructive Pyelonephritis Treated Without Drainage as a Risk Factor for Febrile Urinary Tract Infection After Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy: A Retrospective Study From Three Institutions
In this study, the incidence of post‑URSL fUTI in patients with OP treated without drainage was significantly higher than that in those treated with US placement. A history of OP treated without drainage might represent the highest risk factor for post‑URSL fUTI. Therefore, calculous pyelonephritis probably should be managed with drainage to mitigate this risk.
