Endoscopic-assisted robotic pyelolithotomy: a viable treatment option for complex pediatric nephrolithiasis.

Journal of pediatric urology
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Endourological and percutaneous approaches are the standard of care for treatment of pediatric urolithiasis. However, in certain situations, an endoscopic-assisted robotic pyelolithotomy (EARP) can be an acceptable alterna...

Microwave dielectric property based classification of renal calculi: Application of a kNN algorithm.

Computers in biology and medicine
The proper management of renal lithiasis presents a challenge, with the recurrence rate of the disease being as high as 46%. To prevent recurrence, the first step is the accurate categorization of the discarded renal calculi. Currently, the discarded...

An artificial intelligence-based clinical decision support system for large kidney stone treatment.

Australasian physical & engineering sciences in medicine
A decision support system (DSS) was developed to predict postoperative outcome of a kidney stone treatment procedure, particularly percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The system can serve as a promising tool to provide counseling before an operation...

Performance of a Natural Language Processing Method to Extract Stone Composition From the Electronic Health Record.

Urology
OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate the utility of a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm for mining kidney stone composition in a large-scale electronic health records (EHR) repository.

Differentiating kidney stones from phleboliths in unenhanced low-dose computed tomography using radiomics and machine learning.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: Distinguishing between kidney stones and phleboliths can constitute a diagnostic challenge in patients undergoing unenhanced low-dose CT (LDCT) for acute flank pain. We sought to investigate the accuracy of radiomics and a machine-learnin...

A prospective study evaluating impact on renal function following percutaneous nephrolithotomy using Tc99m ethylenedicysteine renal scan: Does multiplicity of access tracts play a role?

Investigative and clinical urology
PURPOSE: A prospective study evaluating impact of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on renal function following PCNL using ethylenedicysteine (EC) renal scan. Does multiplicity of access tracts play a role?

The new Avicenna Roboflex: How does the irrigation system work? Results from an in vitro experiment.

Archivio italiano di urologia, andrologia : organo ufficiale [di] Societa italiana di ecografia urologica e nefrologica
INTRODUCTION: Since 2012 Elmed has been working on a robot specifically designed for flexible ureteroscopy. After the first version of Avicenna Roboflex, a second version was developed in 2015, with significant changes especially in the irrigation sy...

A novel method for predicting kidney stone type using ensemble learning.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
The high morbidity rate associated with kidney stone disease, which is a silent killer, is one of the main concerns in healthcare systems all over the world. Advanced data mining techniques such as classification can help in the early prediction of t...

Artificial Neural Network System to Predict the Postoperative Outcome of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy.

Journal of endourology
PURPOSE: To construct, train, and apply an artificial neural network (ANN) system for prediction of different outcome variables of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). We calculated predictive accuracy, sensitivity, and precision for each outcome var...
