Combined flexible URS and percutaneous ‘through and through’ puncture of an intra-renal cyst with internalisation of drainage, to treat calyceal obstruction and recurrent stones

Urology Case Reports, 2020
A 61 year old gentleman had a large renal cyst, thought to be causing a ‘pseudo-hydrocalyx’ leading to recurrent stones. Definitive treatment with laparoscopic deroofing was planned, however intra-operatively this was abandoned due to complex anatomy and

Machine learning‐based predictive models versus traditional risk scores in hemodialysis patients with comorbid urolithiasis

Precision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
Machine learning‐based predictive models outperform traditional risk scores in hemodialysis patients with comorbid urolithiasis by capturing nonlinear, dialysis‐specific interactions. These approaches enable more accurate prediction of stone recurrence, sepsis, hospitalization, and mortality, supporting personalized risk stratification and precision ...
