[Differences between the inpatient complication rate after ureterorenoscopy and the 30-day outcome reported by the patient - results of the German prospective BUSTER study].

CONCLUSIONS: Assessment of complications should exceed the timeframe of hospital stay, as complications increased within 30 days of surgery and were associated with impairment of QoL. Further studies have to evaluate if lower complication rates and better QoL might be achieved by abstaining from postoperative ureteral stenting.
