🚨 New publication in Urolithiasis 🚨
Most surgeons look at a urine dipstick and ask:
"Is this patient infected?"
Our data suggest a different question:
"Can this dipstick tell me whether the pre-laser renal pelvic culture will be negative?"
During ureteroscopy:
✅ NPV 96.7% for pre-laser renal pelvic urine culture
✅ Immediate result
✅ Available 24–48 hours before culture results
Why is that important?
Pre-laser culture positivity was associated with:
🔺 6× higher odds of postoperative infection
🔺 9× higher odds of sepsis
A negative pre-laser dipstick may provide real-time reassurance while awaiting the culture result that matters most.
The dipstick is a rule-out test for culture positivity.
It is not a rule-in test for infection.

📢 Proud to share our new publication in Journal of Endourology. @CaseUrology
In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we compared ECIRS vs PCNL for complex kidney stones.
ECIRS showed higher stone-free rates and fewer major complications.

VES is a novel robotic surgical system that allows transurethral ERBT. The concentric tube design of the instrument arms allows controllable manipulation at a small diameter of ~1mm. This is extremely crucial to allow a two-handed surgery w/o obscuring the endoscopic view. (2/n)
