The STONE nephrolithometry scoring system was introduced by the Smith Institute for Urology. This scoring system is based solely on 5 parameters obtained from preoperative non contrast CT scan. These parameters include stone size, tract length, hydronephrosis or obstruction, number of involved calyces, and stone density or essence (Hounsfield units, HU). The total STONE nephrolithometry score ranges from 5 to 13, with 13 representing the most complex percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and 5 representing the simplest percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). The STONE nephrolithometry score also successfully predicts stone-free status after PCNL surgery. "Kidney Stone Scoring - Predicts SFR after PCNL" app will help to evaluate kidney stone patients by calculating the STONE nephrolithometry score.
“Kidney Stone Scoring - Predicts SFR after PCNL” also calculates the Guy’s stone score. In Guy's score, the parameters included are a number of stones, the location of the stone (calyces involved), abnormal anatomy, the presence of partial or complete staghorn stones and spinal injury/bifida. However, it does not include stone size, which in itself is a major predictor of the success rate of PCNL.
