Computed Tomography-Determined Stone-Free Rates for Ureteroscopy of Upper-Tract Stones
Journal of Endourology, 2009Most series on ureteroscopy for urolithiasis use postoperative plain radiography of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder (KUB) or intravenous urography (IVU) to determine outcomes. These imaging modalities, however, are not very sensitive and may overestimate stone-free rates (SFRs).

Immediate stone-free rates of ureteroscopy are rarely reported. To establish accurate stone-free rates after ureteroscopy we assessed the safety and success of ureteroscopy for patients undergoing the procedure at contralateral percutaneous nephrolithotomy.From our prospectively collected, institutional review board approved, percutaneous ...

Triple D Score Is a Reportable Predictor of Shockwave Lithotripsy Stone-Free Rates
Journal of Endourology, 2015Purpose: Over the last decade, shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) success rates have been correlated with stone density, skin-to-stone distance (SSD), and stone diameter. However, time constraints and the technical challenge of manual measurement often preclude utilization of these parameters.

Optimizing Stone-free Rates With Ureteroscopy.
Reviews in urology, 2015Ureteroscopy is being increasingly utilized in the treatment and management of patients with renal and ureteral stones. Improving stone-free rates with ureteroscopy decreases the need for ancillary procedures and improves patient outcomes and satisfaction.

Aim: Urinary stone disease affects people of all ages. With its satisfactory efficacy ranges in all age groups and lack of side‐effects, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has become the preferred treatment modality for uncomplicated renal and proximal calculi ≤20 mm.

What is the stone-free rate following flexible ureteroscopy for kidney stones?
Nature Reviews Urology, 2015Flexible ureteroscopy (URS) is increasingly being used as the first-line treatment for patients with renal stones. Despite this increase in use, substantial variations exist in the reported stone-free rates (SFR) following flexible URS. These variations are a result of inconsistencies in the definition of 'stone-free', which reflect variations in the ...

Predictive value of the S.T.O.N.E. score for stone-free rate in impacted ureteral stones
UrolithiasisThis study aims to evaluate the discriminative ability of the S.T.O.N.E. score for residual fragments following ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy in patients with surgically confirmed impacted ureteral stones. We retrospectively analyzed 272 adult patients who underwent laser lithotripsy via semirigid ureteroscopy for impacted ureteral stones between ...
