Abstract：Objective:To explore the risk factors of urinary tract infection after ureteroscopy.Methods:The clinical data of 236 cases from 2010 to 2016 in our hospital undergoing ureteroscopy or surgery were retrospectively ana-lyZed,including patients'age and sex,complications,laboratory indexes,antibiotic use,incidence and risk factors of uri-nary tract infection,etc.Results:Of the 236 patients,there were 19 cases of postoperative infection with the inci-dence being was 4.4%.There was no significant difference in the infection rate among different types of drugs used(P>0.05).Age,diabetes,preoperative urinary retention,prophylactic use of antibiotics and postoperative indwelling catheter time were related factors of urinary tract infection after ureteroscopy(P< 0.05).Diabetes, preoperative urinary retention and long indwelling catheter were risk factors of urinary tract infection after uret-eroscopy.Preventive use of antibiotics was the protective factor.Conclusions:Preoperative urinary retention,dia-betes mellitus and postoperative long time indwelling catheter will lead to higher rate of urinary tract infection after ureteroscopy,and prophylactic use of anti-infective drugs can reduce the incidence of infection.
