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?

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...
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...
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...
PURPOSE: To investigate the factors influencing the length of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedures and identify predictive variables for operation time using machine learning models.
We aimed to develop machine learning(ML) algorithms to evaluate complications of flexible ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy(fURSL), providing a valid predictive model. 15 ML algorithms were trained on a large number fURSL data from > 6500 patients f...
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: High frequency (HF) in laser lithotripsy lacks a consistent definition, potentially impacting clinical outcomes and patient safety. This review aims to analyze available evidence on the definition of HF.

Currently, the types of kidney stones before surgery are mainly identified by human beings, which directly leads to the problems of low classification accuracy and inconsistent diagnostic results due to the reliance on human knowledge. To address thi...
The absence of predictive markers for kidney stone recurrence poses a challenge for the clinical management of stone disease. The unpredictability of stone events is also a significant limitation for clinical trials, where many patients must be enro...
