Increasing stone complexity does not affect fluoroscopy time in percutaneous nephrolithotomy [PDF]
Therapeutic Advances in Urology, 2019 Background: The aim of this work was to assess whether stone complexity with the Guy’s stone score (GSS) is associated with increased intraoperative fluoroscopy time.

Preoperative CT-Derived Stone Burden Metrics for Predicting Stone-Free Status and Operative Time After Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery [PDF]
DiagnosticsObjectives: Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) is used before retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) to describe stone size, location, and complexity, but the best way to summarize stone burden remains unsettled.

Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity Score for Predicting Stone-Free Rate after Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Currently, no standardized method is available to predict success rate after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. We devised and validated the Seoul National University Renal Stone Complexity (S-ReSC) scoring system for predicting the stone-free rate after ...
