Overall, febrile UTI after URS occurred in 14.1% of patients, and the operation time was an independent predictive factor for this complication. Considering that more than 83.7% of febrile UTIs after URS were not controlled with fluoroquinolones, it may be more appropriate to use higher-level antibiotics for treatment, even in cases with unidentified pathogens.
