Postoperative Progress after Stone Removal Following Treatment for Obstructive Acute Pyelonephritis Associated with Urinary Tract Calculi: A Retrospective Study.

CONCLUSION: Patients presenting obstructive APN can develop postoperative febrile UTI after active stone removal with high frequency and the risk factors are female sex and having multiple stones. Residual fragments after stone removal in patients with obstructive APN can cause stone and APN recurrence, indicating that complete removal of stone fragments ? 4 mm is imperative to the management of the disease.
