AI Article Synopsis
- * Researchers observed procedures, analyzed potential failure points, and created a scoring system based on expert evaluations of hazards, resulting in a final score that encompasses 10 phases and numerous subprocesses.
- * The developed assessment score has been validated internationally, making it a useful tool for training and evaluating surgical proficiency in related educational programs.
Article Abstract
Objectives: To develop and content validate a percutaneous nephrolithotomy assessment score, taking into consideration the procedure-specific risks.
Methods: This prospective international study utilized the Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis to systematically outline percutaneous nephrolithotomy and failure modes for each step. A total of 25 h was spent observing percutaneous nephrolithotomy carried out by six expert surgeons. Hazard analysis scoring was carried out by 11 experts. It was determined if the steps were single point weaknesses. Single point weaknesses and those assigned a hazard score ≥4 were included in the percutaneous nephrolithotomy assessment score. The tool was then content validated by 16 experts from 10 countries.
Results: Application of the Healthcare Failure Mode and Effect Analysis identified 64 failure modes; 37 failure modes had a hazard score ≥4. After adaptations based on expert feedback the final percutaneous nephrolithotomy assessment score was developed containing 10 phases, 21 processes and 47 subprocesses. All participants agreed that the tool contained pertinent procedural steps.
Conclusions: This study has developed and shown the international content validity of a novel percutaneous nephrolithotomy assessment score. The tool can be utilized in modular operating room training to quantify operator progress, and can be used in conjunction with other modules as part of a complete percutaneous nephrolithotomy curriculum for trainees.

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness of an optimized treatment approach for complex renal calculi, utilizing visual needle nephroscopy in conjunction with standard PCNL and holmium YAG laser. We collected data from 62 patients diagnosed with complex kidney stones who underwent this combined procedure using the visual needle nephroscope (Needle-perc, Youcare Tech, Wuhan, China). The percutaneous nephroscopic working channel was established by visual needle nephroscope, and the primary channel was expanded to 20 F to treat most of the main body of the calculi with a 550 μm holmium laser fiber.
