OBJECTIVE: To explore the image enhancement model based on deep learning on the effect of ureteroscopy with double J tube placement and drainage on ureteral stones during pregnancy. We compare the clinical effect of ureteroscopy with double J tube pl...
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...

OBJECTIVES: To analyze the association of serum heparin-binding protein (HBP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with urosepsis following flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (FURL) and to construct a back propagation neural network prediction model.
PURPOSE: To establish a prediction model for repeated shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) efficacy to help choose an appropriate treatment plan for patients with a single failed lithotripsy, reducing their treatment burden.
Urinary tract stones are a common and frequently recurring medical issue. Accurately predicting the success rate after surgery can help avoid ineffective medical procedures and reduce unnecessary healthcare costs. This study collected data from patie...
OBJECTIVES: To develop a deep learning (DL) model based on computed tomography (CT) images to predict the success of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) treatment for patients with ureteral stones larger than 1 cm.
