    Ureteroscopy is generally safe, with major complications like perforation or stricture occurring in 8% of patients. Long-term follow-up shows no evidence of late complications arising after the procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Medical Complications

    Background:

    • Ureteroscopy is a common procedure for treating ureteral stones and other conditions.
    • Assessing the short-term and long-term safety profile of ureteroscopy is crucial for patient care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the incidence of major complications following ureteroscopy.
    • To determine if late complications arise more than one year after ureteroscopy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 125 ureteroscopy procedures in 111 patients.
    • Analysis of complication rates, including perforation, stricture formation, and need for ureteric reimplantation.
    • Clinical follow-up and imaging studies conducted over one year post-procedure.

    Main Results:

    • Eight percent of patients experienced major complications such as ureteral perforation or stricture formation.
    • Three percent of patients required ureteric reimplantation due to complications.
    • No late complications were identified in clinical or imaging follow-up exceeding one year.

    Conclusions:

    • Ureteroscopy is associated with a low rate of major early complications.
    • The procedure appears to have a favorable long-term safety profile with no evidence of late-onset complications.
