Due to the technological advances in endourology, the present study searched articles published between 2012 and 2022. Non-English language articles and those for which the full text was unavailable were excluded. The leading search, as well as screening for eligibility of titles, abstracts and full-text articles, was completed independently by two authors and any discrepancies were solved by consensus.
The present study selected studies with a control group (non-SIRS/sepsis) and analyzed elements that favored the appearance of sepsis after urological maneuvers. These have been patients' age, diabetes mellitus, preoperative pyuria, positive preoperative urine culture, operative time-minutes, multitract and body mass index (BMI).
