Role of cultural analysis in patients with indwelling ureteral stent submitted to ureteroscopy for stones.

CONCLUSIONS: About one to five patients treated with URS developed an infectious complication and E. Faecalis and E. Coli were the most frequent pathogen isolated. A positive SC is the only independent risk factor for postoperative infection: consequently, an early SC analysis could allow a prompt antibiotic therapy in all patients with positive SC even if mildly symptomatic.
