Background And Objective: Stone size has traditionally been measured in one dimension. This is reflected in most of the literature and in the EAU guidelines. However, recent studies have shown that multidimensional measures provide better prediction of outcomes.

- * Comprehensive metabolic screening and personalized preventative measures, like fluid intake and dietary recommendations, are crucial for patients, especially those with specific types of stones.
- * Continuous monitoring and targeted therapies are essential for managing patients at high risk of stone recurrence to improve long-term outcomes.
Introduction: Renal colic accounts for 5-10% of all emergency department visits, making it a common condition in acute medicine. The typical clinical presentation is an early indication of urolithiasis.
Diagnosis: Diagnostic measures include laboratory tests, ultrasound, and low-dose noncontrast computed tomography (CT) scans.
Objective: To develop a follow-up algorithm for urinary stone patients after definitive treatment.
Materials And Methods: The panel performed a systematic review on follow-up of urinary stone patients after treatment (PROSPERO: CRD42020205739). Given the lack of comparative studies we critically evaluated the literature and reached a consensus on the follow-up scheme.
Purpose: We sought to determine which treatment between flexible ureteroscopy and shock wave lithotripsy has a better stone-free rate in pediatric patients (<18 years) with renal or proximal ureteric stones (<2 cm). Subanalysis for all outcomes for randomized controlled trials only.
Materials And Methods: Using PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane database, we identified studies (randomized clinical trials and prospective comparative nonrandomized studies) published until August 2022 reporting surgical outcomes of pediatrics patients undergoing flexible ureteroscopy and shock wave lithotripsy with renal or proximal ureteric stones <2 cm (PROSPERO ID: CRD42022378790).
