A calculator from our Urolithiasis nomogram.
Staghorn uric acid stones: estimated chance of complete oral chemolysis by density and volume.
Small sample (n = 51). Exploratory — external validation still needed.
Grateful to @endouro and @DocGauhar.

👋 Goodbye, difficult FANS!
🚀 Introducing FANS 2.0
A new concept for smarter stone suction & better FANS handling.
💧 Tip irrigation → maintains the fluid column with ⬇️ Less retropulsion
🪨 Better stone evacuation
FANS 2.0 — Making the Most of FANS. 🔥

Does higher frequency necessarily mean better lithotripsy?
Our recent EAU Endourology Group systematic review of 22 studies involving 2,059 patients suggests that the answer is far from straightforward.
🌍 The geography of #Endourology innovation is changing.
Our new @EUplatinum editorial shows the shift from a predominantly Western landscape towards a truly global, multipolar ecosystem—with China 🇨🇳, India 🇮🇳 & Singapore 🇸🇬 increasingly shaping innovation, evidence & practice. @Pietro9609 @OTRAXER @fpanthier @Davide_Perri90 @EugenioVentimiglia @GeorgioBozzini @IoannisGoumas @steffiyuen @DocGauhar @usioffice @so_uro @Uroweb @EAUYAUrology @Endo_Society @BAUSendourology @YAUEndourology @EAU_YAUroTech @UHSFT @PusenMedical @bsc_urology @Coloplast_MD @KARLSTORZUro @cjmedicaluk @DrKandarp_Uro @PETRAurogroup @AmerUrological #Urology #KidneyStones #Innovation #Urolithiasis #GlobalUrology
🌍💰 What does modern #Ureteroscopy actually cost around the world?
Two new 40-country @Uroweb @EAUYAUrology collaborations explore the economics of single-use #FURS + #FANS—and the findings are striking.
