OBJECTIVE: To determine the efficacy of intercostal nerve block and nephrostomy tract infiltration (NTI) with ropivacaine in patients undergoing tubeless percutaneous nephrolithotomy (TPCNL).
Purpose To demonstrate the feasibility of contrast material-enhanced ulrasonographic (US) nephrostograms to assess ureteral patency after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in this proof-of-concept study. Materials and Methods For this HIPAA-complia...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the safety, efficacy and complications of laparoscopic pyelolithotomy (LPL) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for treatment of renal pelvic stones larger than 2.5 cm.
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...

To determine the stone-free rates (SFR) with robot-assisted mini-endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (mini-ECIRS) and evaluate the impact of intraoperative assessment of stone-free status compared to postoperative non-contrast computed tomography...
To assess the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted anatrophic nephrolithotomy (RANL) as a choice of minimally invasive treatment for patients with complete staghorn stone. In a single-tertiary referral center retrospective study, 10 consecutive pati...
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...
