INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to investigate the success of a deep learning model in detecting kidney stones in different planes according to stone size on unenhanced computed tomography (CT) images.
This study aimed to report a multi-institutional experience with robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for treatment of urinary tract stones in children. The medical records of 15 patients (12 boys), who underwent RALS for urolithiasis in 4 inte...

Knowing the type (i.e., the biochemical composition) of kidney stones is crucial to prevent relapses with an appropriate treatment. During ureteroscopies, kidney stones are fragmented, extracted from the urinary tract, and their composition is determ...
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the use of machine learning techniques for predicting stone-free rates following Shockwave Lithotripsy (SWL). Eight papers (3264 patients) were included. Two studies used decision-tree...
Kidney stones are a common complaint worldwide, causing many people to admit to emergency rooms with severe pain. Various imaging techniques are used for the diagnosis of kidney stone disease. Specialists are needed for the interpretation and full di...
OBJECTIVE: To build the Wisconsin Stone Quality of Life Machine-Learning Algorithm (WISQOL-MLA) to predict urolithiasis patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) based on demographic, symptomatic and clinical data collected for the validation ...
PURPOSE: To develop and validate a deep learning and thresholding-based model for automatic kidney stone detection and scoring according to S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometry.
Over the last year, urologic progress remains driven by the quick technologic evolution, with a focus on Laser and robotics. The latter appears to potentially contribute to the drift towards ambulatory surgery, in particular for distinct sub-populati...
