Introduction: With an increase in the prevalence of kidney stone disease (KSD), there has
been a universal drive to develop reliable and user-friendly tools such as grading systems …

Computed tomography (CT) is widely used to examine stones in the urinary system. In
addition to the size and location of the stone and the overall health of the kidney, CT can …

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of ureteral wall thickness (UWT) to predict the
presence of impacted stones in patients with ureteral stones undergoing ureteroscopic …

Objective To combine non-contrast computerized tomography (NCCT)-based parameters
with stone and patient characteristics that are already known to affect shock wave lithotripsy …

The purpose of the study was to investigate variables that may predict ureteral stone
impaction and create a new model to predict more accurately stone impaction based on …

Abstract Introduction and Objectives: Computed tomography (CT) is one of the most
commonly used diagnostic modalities for urinary stone disease. In this study we developed …

Upper urinary tract calculi are common; however, there is no recommended treatment
selection for elderly patients. Ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy (URS lithotripsy) is …

The association between mean stone density (MSD) and ureteroscopic lithotripsy outcome
remains controversial. MSD automatically measured by 3D images of stones (3D-MSD) was …

Objective To evaluate the predictors of the total laser energy (TLE) required during
ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URS) using the holmium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho: YAG) laser …

Purpose: The purpose is to study the association of stone, ureteral, and renal morphometric
parameters with the relevant outcome variables, ie, complication rate, stone-free rate (SFR) …
