Kymora B Scotland, Dirk Lange Department of Urologic Sciences, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada Abstract: Urosepsis is a potentially life-threatening phenomenon that may occur after an ureteroscopic procedure. With the increasingly widespread adoption of ureteroscopy, there is a concern that the rates of urosepsis may increase. This review examines the current work being undertaken to minimize postprocedure infections both in the field of device development and in clinical care. Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of urosepsis will be discussed. Keywords: urosepsis, sepsis, urinary tract infection, ureteroscopy, ureteroscope, ureteral stent
