| Sumario: | 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.

Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of urosepsis will be discussed. |
