INTRODUCTION: Among upper urinary tract stones, a significant proportion comprises uric acid stones. The aim of this study was to use machine learning techniques to analyze CT scans and blood and urine test data, with the aim of establishing multiple...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Machine learning (ML) is a subset of artificial intelligence that uses data to build algorithms to predict specific outcomes. Few ML studies have examined percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) outcomes. Our objective was to bu...
BACKGROUND: To demonstrate the technical feasibility of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) guided by 5G-powered robot-assisted teleultrasound diagnosis system (RTDS) in a complex kidney-stone (CKS) cohort and present our preliminary outcomes. PCNL i...
To evaluate the efficacy of supine percutaneous renal access by robot-assisted (RA) fluoroscopy and ultrasound (US) guidance in terms of procedural outcomes and surgeon workload. We conducted a multicenter, randomized, controlled benchtop study inv...

OBJECTIVE: The American Medical Association recommends health information to be written at a 6th grade level reading level. Our aim was to determine whether Artificial Intelligence can outperform the existing health information on kidney stone preven...
Use deep learning (DL) to automate the measurement and tracking of kidney stone burden over serial CT scans. This retrospective study included 259 scans from 113 symptomatic patients being treated for urolithiasis at a single medical center between...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Robotic surgery in urology has already been widely employed in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for minimally invasive procedures (MIS). We wanted to analyse rapidly developing robotic ureteroscopy (RoboURS) for the treatment ...
