Routine Urinary Biochemistry Does Not Accurately Predict Stone Type Nor Recurrence in Kidney Stone Formers: A Multi-Cent...

Published in Journal of endourology

Urinary biochemistry is used to detect and monitor conditions associated with recurrent kidney stones. There are no predictive machine learning (ML) tools for kidney stone type or recurrence. We therefore aimed to build and validate ML models for these outcomes using age, gender, 24-hour urine biochemistry and stone composition. Data from 3 cohorts...

Antimicrobial Prophylaxis for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: Contemporary Practice Patterns.

Published in Journal of endourology

Updated in 2019, the American Urological Association's (AUA) Best Practice Statement on Urologic Procedures and Antimicrobial Prophylaxis outlines prophylaxis for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Recent studies have challenged these recommendations. We hypothesized endourologists do not routinely follow the AUA's statement on antibiotic use dur...

Published in Journal of endourology

Introduction: Flexible ureteroscopy (fURS) is a one-person surgical technique, limiting trainees' ability to practice intraoperatively. Although well suited for simulation training, few existing fURS simulators can accurately reproduce complex renal collecting system anatomies. We developed an anatomically accurate fURS simulator using three-dimens...
