- Abstract
Editorial Comment on: Impact of the Timing of Ureteral Stent Placement on Outcomes in Patients with Obstructing Ureteral Calculi and Presumed Infection by Faw et al. (From: Faw C, Wan K, Hollingsworth JM, et al. They utilized an institutional urology consult database to identify 48 patients presenting to the emergency department with CT confirmed ureteral stones and two or more Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) criteria who underwent stent placement. A 2013 study analyzing 1712 patients with ureteral stones and sepsis from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample found that 22% did not receive any decompression whether it is ureteral stent or nephrostomy tube placement.
