First prospective clinical assessment of the ILY ® robotic flexible ureteroscopy platform
ConclusionIn the first prospective clinical experience of the ILY® robotic FURS, we demonstrated its efficacy and safety. To further investigate its clinical practical value, additional investigations are warranted, including direct comparative analyses with manual flexible ureteroscopy techniques.

A historical comparison of thulium fiber laser systems for stone lithotripsy: navigating toward safe and effective parameters
ConclusionBy reducing pulsed frequency, we improved laser efficiency, but smaller volumes lead to decreased efficiency due to increased retropulsion and fragment movement. Further studies are needed to identify and establish the appropriate laser settings for this new technology. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

Ureteral wall thickness as a predictor for non-invasive treatment success for steinstrasse. Can we save time?
ConclusionUreteral wall thickness is an important factor predicting SS management success. Besides the decreased UWT, non-invasive management should be offered for type I SS with leading stone ≤ 10 mm. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

Transient ureteral obstruction after mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy is associated with stone volume and location: results from a single-center, real-life study
ConclusionOne out of five patients showed transient ureteral obstruction after mPCNL. Patients with a higher stone burden and with stones in the renal pelvis are at higher risk of inadequate ureteral canalization. Internal drainage might be considered in these cases to avoid potential complications. (Source: World Journal of Urology)

Radiation Exposure associated with Computed Tomography for Pediatric Urolithiasis Evaluation: A Scoping Review of the Literature
Computed tomography (CT) imaging is used for assessment of pediatric urolithiasis in cases where ultrasound is inconclusive. The utility of CT imaging must be considered alongside the potential risks of radiation exposure in this patient population due to the increased risk of cancer development. The purpose of this review is to investigate the radiation exposure associated with standard-dose and low-dose computed tomography (CT) imaging for the assessment of pediatric urolithiasis.
