BACKGROUND: Lower pole renal stones (LPS) present unique challenges for retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) due to unfavorable anatomical features, often resulting in suboptimal stone-free rates (SFR). Recent advancements in machine learning (ML) of...
PURPOSE: To consolidate the current evidence of artificial intelligence (AI) for management of nephrolithiasis using extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL), and to look at its feasibility into integration in clinical practice.
INTRODUCTION: Suction devices such as flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS) are promising tools to reach the zero-fragment rate (ZFR) after flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) and laser lithotripsy. FANS could especially be useful for...
Renal stones (RS) are common urologic condition with unclear pathogenesis. Role of aging-related differentially expressed genes (ARDEGs) in RS remains poorly understood. This study aims to identify potential aging-related biomarkers for RS, explore t...
INTRODUCTION: "Kidney Stone Calculator" (KSC) helps to plan flexible ureteroscopy, providing the stone volume (SV) and an estimated duration of laser lithotripsy (eLD). eLD is calculated from in vitro ablation rates and SV. KSC's accuracy has been de...
PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology will inevitably permeate healthcare. Bing Chat is an AI chatbot with different conservation styles. We evaluated each of these response mode answers regarding management of nephrolithiasis.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This narrative review provides an overview of the use, differences, and clinical impact of current methods for kidney stone volume assessment.
This study aims to develop a machine learning model utilizing Computed Tomography (CT) values to predict systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after endoscopic surgery for kidney stones. The goal is to identify high-risk patients early and p...
Kidney stone is a common urological disease in dogs and can lead to serious complications such as pyelonephritis and kidney failure. However, manual diagnosis involves a lot of burdens on radiologists and may cause human errors due to fatigue. Automa...
