Please follow the instructions below to input your abstract title.
Abstract titles should be brief and reflect the content of the abstract.
Nephrocalcinosis is the deposition of calcium in the renal parenchyma, while a kidney stone is a discrete, solid mass of calcium salts that forms within the collecting system of the kidney. The key difference is the location. Both can cause similar symptoms like blood in the urine, pain, nausea, and vomiting. Current management of kidney stones includes both surgical and pharmacologic interventions. Artitificial Intelligence (AI) represents a useful tool that provides urologists with numerous amenities, which explains the fact that it has gained ground in the pursuit of stone disease management perfection.
A comprehensive literature review was performed using PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases to identify publications about innovative concepts or supporting applications of AI in the improvement of every medical procedure relating to stone disease. The search was conducted from January 2023 to September 2025.
A total of 39 studies were identified. The main subjects were related to the detection of urinary stones, the prediction of the outcome of conservative or operative management, the optimization of operative procedures, and the elucidation of the relation of urinary stone chemistry with various factors. Minimally invasive treatments were used on this patients like thulium fiber lasers and robot-assisted flexible ureteroscopy (FURS), burst wave lithotripsy using low-energy ultrasound to break up stones without anesthesia.Additionally, research is exploring the fundamental mechanisms of stone formation, identifying links to high protein and sodium diet, immune response, and sex hormones, and investigating new prevention strategies based on these findings.
This surge in usage of AI assisted devices holds a promising future in clinical application, benefiting a growing number of patients with renal calculi. Accompanied by changes in technical concepts and therapeutic modalities, the scope of indications for AI assisted technologies like flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) is broadening, positioning it as a potential primary choice for urological disoders treatment in the future. This review outlines the progress in employing FURS for the treatment of renal calculi in order to generate insights for further research.
