B.T.C.H. nephrolithometry score: a novel scoring system to predict stone-free rate and complexity for ultrasound-guided percutaneous nephrolithotomy

BackgroundThe existing scoring systems for percutaneous nephrolithotomy fail to adequately consider the influence of renal anatomy, leading to limited predictive accuracy. This study introduces and validates a novel B.T.C.H. nephrolithometry score, designed to better predict stone-free rates and com...
