How do you detect infections intraoperatively for ureteroscopy patients (conventional methods)? what are the limitations of these methods? are these methods slow or costly? what can occur if the infection is detected a lot later? (senior project)?

Sounds like you need to hit the books.

Infections are ruled out by urine C&S test prior to it and a sample of urine during the procedure if not done earlier. There are limitations as in anything in medicine, which is not an exact science- but are minimal.Not vey costly. If detected lot later can be treated with antibiotics. now go ace your Senior Project!
