Efficacy and Tolerability of Transoral Sialolithotomy in Non‐Palpable Submandibular Lithiasis

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 1, Page 218-225, January 2026.
Transoral sialolithotomy has long been considered inappropriate for non‐palpable submandibular stones. In this retrospective cohort of 457 patients, we compared outcomes between palpable and non‐palpable stones, showing that the technique allows successful removal in 87% of non‐palpable cases, with no associated complications.

A computer vision model for automated kidney stone segmentation and evaluation of its performance vs surgeons

BJU International, Volume 137, Issue 1, Page 87-94, January 2026.
Objectives To develop a computer vision model that segments stones to improve visualisation during ureteroscopy (URS) and to compare model performance to that of experts. Materials and Methods We collected 136 videos of URS for intrarenal kidney stone treatment. Frames were extracted at 3 frames per second (FPS) and manually annotated.
