OBJECTIVE: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is the gold standard for treating large kidney stones. However, traditional scoring systems and logistic regression-based models have limited predictive power due to their reliance on linear assumptions. This s...
PURPOSE: Postoperative fever is a common complication following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) that occurs even in patients with sterile urine cultures. Traditional risk-assessment tools are insufficient in this subset of patients. This study ai...
This study aims to develop a machine learning model utilizing Computed Tomography (CT) values to predict systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after endoscopic surgery for kidney stones. The goal is to identify high-risk patients early and p...
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the performance of machine learning models for predicting the possibility of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
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...

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...
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?
