Risk stratification for repeat stone surgery: the role of stone composition
Stone composition significantly affects the 5-year surgical recurrence rates and the median time to recurrence, with non-calcium oxalate stone formers at a higher risk for recurrence. Sharing this information with patients may improve compliance with preventive strategies, including comprehensive metabolic evaluation and adherence to preventive therapy. Emphasizing this risk may help prioritize proactive management in high-risk patients.
