Abstract
There has been a growing need for enhancements in healthcare delivery, especially for the improvement of surgical outcomes. Therefore, implementing consistent reporting of complications enables the evaluation of data quality and facilitates its comparison. There are currently many available reporting and grading systems each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. In this comprehensive review, we tried to present and assess each of them by demonstrating their criteria and their strong and weak points. To sum up, it seems that there is a need for developing a new reporting and categorization system for complications that are specific to urology.
