    Abstract Kidney stones are rising in incidence and prevalence worldwide. Given the temperature dependence of kidney stone presentations, climate change is projected to further increase the burden of disease for individuals and society. PATIENT SUMMARY: This mini-review reports current knowledge on climate change in relation to kidney stone disease. Kidney stones are more common in patients living in parts of the world that are hotter and more humid. Kidney stone problems are also more common after periods of high heat, which have a greater impact on men than on women. As temperatures rise with climate change, it is likely that the occurrence of kidney stones and the costs associated with their diagnosis and treatment will increase as well.

    Abstract Objective: To prospectively capture patient-reported outcomes to assess the recovery profile of ureteroscopy (URS).
    Materials and methods: Adults undergoing URS for renal/ureteral stones were eligible for inclusion (11/2020-8/2022). Patients prospectively completed PROMIS - Pain Intensity, - Pain Interference, and - Ability to participate in social roles and activities in-person preoperatively (POD 0) and via email on POD 1, 7, 14, and 30. Scores are reported as T-scores (normalized to U.S. population, mean=50) with a change of 5 (0.5 SD) considered clinically significant.
    Results: One hundred and seventy-eight participants enrolled at POD 0 (POD 1 =87, POD 7 =83, POD 14 =70, POD30 =67). There was a worsening of quality of life from day 0 to day 1 and day 0 to 7. All dimensions then improved with an increase in scores from day 0 to day 14 and day 0 to day 30. On multivariable analysis, the presence of a preoperative ureteral stent (OR 0.14) and use of semirigid URS (OR 0.33) were associated with a reduced odds for severe pain interference at day 1. The use of semirigid URS (OR 0.20) was associated with a reduced odds for severe worsening in the ability to participate in social roles at day 1.
    Conclusion: Ability to participate in social roles declines immediately postoperatively, while pain intensity and interference sharply increase. There is a gradual improvement until POD 30. Findings suggest preoperative stents may influence postoperative recovery. Results offer meaningful insight to assist in counseling and setting expectation for patients postoperatively.

    Abstract Pediatric nephrolithiasis is less common in children than in adults but the incidence has been rising rapidly, and it is now a public health and economic burden in the United States. There are challenges unique to children that should be taken into consideration when evaluating and managing pediatric stone disease. In this review, we present the current research on risk factors, emerging new technologies for treatment of stones and recent investigations on prevention of stones in this population.

    Abstract The prevalence of pediatric nephrolithiasis has increased dramatically in the past two decades for reasons that have yet to be fully elucidated. Workup of pediatric kidney stones should include metabolic assessment to identify and address any risk factors predisposing patients to recurrent stone formation, and treatment should aim to facilitate stone clearance while minimizing complications, radiation and anesthetic exposure, and other risks. Treatment methods include observation and supportive therapy, medical expulsive therapy, and surgical intervention, with choice of treatment method determined by clinicians' assessments of stone size, location, anatomic factors, comorbidities, other risk factors, and preferences and goals of patients and their families. Much of the current research into nephrolithiasis is restricted to adult populations, and more data are needed to better understand many aspects of the epidemiology and treatment of pediatric kidney stones.

    Abstract Background: The comparative effectiveness of high-power laser technology for kidney stone surgery in pediatric patients is poorly understood. We compared outcomes for the 120 W Holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser with MOSES technology to 30 W Ho:YAG laser for pediatric patients undergoing ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy for kidney and ureteral stones.
    Objective: We evaluated the outcomes of the new MOSES laser technology as compared to low-power Ho:YAG lasers commonly used for kidney stone treatment in the pediatric population.
    Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of 131 consecutive patients aged 1-18 years who underwent ureteroscopy and laser lithotripsy for renal and ureteric calculi at a large freestanding children's hospital between 2013 and 2020. The primary outcome was the efficiency quotient, which incorporates stone clearance, auxiliary procedures, and retreatment rates. Outcomes were compared between groups using Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests and multivariable regression. A sensitivity analysis was performed extending the age limit to ≤21 years.
    Results: Outcomes are summarized in the table below. Median age of the cohort was 14 years with 53% of patients being female. MOSES laser had a higher efficiency quotient and was associated with a lower odds of post-operative emergency department visits (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.0-1.0; p = 0.047). Operative time was similar. In the sensitivity analysis of patients ≤21 years, the statistical significance with fewer emergency department visits was lost and the efficiency quotient was lower.
    Discussion: Our results show that stone clearance is similar between the 120 W MOSES and 30 W Ho:YAG lasers. However, there are indications that high-power laser lithotripsy is more efficient due to fewer auxiliary procedures and a reduction in retreatment. In addition, higher power lasers were associated with fewer emergency department visits. The benefits appear to be greater among children ≤18 years. These exploratory findings are important for pediatric patients due to the requirement for general anesthesia for each procedure and their associated impact on children and their caregivers.
    Conclusions: High-power laser lithotripsy may be more efficient than lower power laser lithotripsy, which is driven by the fewer auxiliary procedures and reduction in retreatment particularly among youth ≤18 years old.
