The clinical utility of urolithiasis morphology assessment for perioperative stone composition determination
Detailed analysis revealed a wide distribution of scores, ranging from participants with only one correct response to those who completed the quiz with full accuracy. These results suggest that the consistently low diagnostic accuracy reported in the literature is more likely due to limited familiarity and lack of experience with the morphological classification, rather than inherent shortcomings of the system itself. The findings highlight the need for comprehensive endourology training programs focused on improving stone morphology recognition skills.
