Abstrakt:	Objective: The study aimed to identify the various risk factors for infective complications following retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). Materials and Methods: The study was conducted over one year, and the incidence of infectious complications after RIRS was calculated. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence and absence of infective complications and were compared in terms of preoperative and operative characteristics. The complications were assessed and graded according to the Modified Clavien classification system (MCCS). The Fisher's exact test, Student's t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used for univariate analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for postoperative urinary tract infection (UTI). Results: Out of 165 patients in the study, 27 (16.7%) patients developed UTI within one month of undergoing RIRS. The most frequent complication was fever, which occurred in 13 (7.8%) patients. When stratified by MCCS, 13 were grade I, nine were grade II, four were grade III, and one was a grade IV complication. High stone burden, concomitant diabetes mellitus, and multiple renal stones were identified as substantial risk factors for postoperative UTI in univariate analysis. On multivariate analysis, preoperative UTI and prolonged operative time were found to have a significant association with postoperative UTI. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that preoperative UTI and prolonged operative time are independent factors responsible for postoperative UTI. Large stone burden, stone multiplicity, and diabetes mellitus contribute to a higher risk for UTI following RIRS. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
