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...

Robot-assisted Kidney Autotransplantation: A Minimally Invasive Way to Salvage Kidneys.

European urology focus
BACKGROUND: Kidney autotransplantation (KAT) is the ultimate way to salvage kidneys with complex renovascular, ureteral, or malignant pathologies that are not amenable to in situ reconstruction. A minimally invasive approach could broaden its adoptio...

Predictors and associations of complications in ureteroscopy for stone disease using AI: outcomes from the FLEXOR registry.

Urolithiasis
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...

A novel predictive method for URS and laser lithotripsy using machine learning and explainable AI: results from the FLEXOR international database.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: We developed Machine learning (ML) algorithms to predict ureteroscopy (URS) outcomes, offering insights into diagnosis and treatment planning, personalised care and improved clinical decision-making.

[Construction of a back propagation neural network model for predicting urosepsis after flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy].

Zhejiang da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Zhejiang University. Medical sciences
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.

Initial experience with robot-assisted ureteroscopy with Ily® Robot.

Minerva urology and nephrology
The aim of this study is to present the first Italian experience with robotic-assisted retrograde intrarenal surgery (rRIRS) using the Ily platform. Procedures were performed for renal stones using the Ily Robot (STERLAB, Vallauris, France), which is...

Single-use flexible ureteroscopes: how to choose and what is around the corner?

Current opinion in urology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The pace of technology development with single-use endoscopy has led to a range of disposable ureteroscopes. We review the development of single-use scopes, deconstruct the basic design and functional characteristics of available d...

Artificial intelligence in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of urinary stones.

Current opinion in urology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: There has a been rapid progress in the use of artificial intelligence in all aspects of healthcare, and in urology, this is particularly astute in the overall management of urolithiasis. This article reviews advances in the use of ...

Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Nephroureterectomy for a Nephrogenic Adenoma of Ureter.

Journal of the College of Physicians and Surgeons--Pakistan : JCPSP
Nephrogenic adenoma is a rare and benign tumour of the urinary tract thought to be caused by metaplastic change of native urothelial tissue. The majority of cases arise in the bladder, with very few cases affecting the ureter reported in the literatu...
