Abstract
INTRODUCTION With the continuous advancement of medical imaging, 3D printing technology is emerging. This technology allows for the representation of complex objects in a model form. This research aims to delve into the irreplaceable value of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in conjunction with 3D printed models in urinary stone surgery. This forward-looking approach provides doctors with a new perspective, enabling them to plan and execute surgeries with greater precision, ultimately delivering a safer and more efficient treatment experience for patients. We evaluated the literature on PCNL for the kidney stones with the introduction of 3D printing models and conducted a meta-analysis. The assessed parameters included stone clearance rate, operation time, hospital stay, blood loss, puncture accuracy, and the rate of complications. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We systematically searched the EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, SCIE, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Search databases for articles related to PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) with 3D printing models from January 2000 to January 2023. Data were managed and screened using Excel . Meta-analysis was performed for operation time, stone clearance rate, blood loss, puncture accuracy, length of hospital stay, and complications in PCNL combined with 3D printing model for kidney stone treatment. The quality of included articles was assessed using the risk of bias tool by the Cochrane Collaboration. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the reliability of the results. Data were recorded using StataSE 17 software, and publication bias was examined using Egger's linear regression test. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS We followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines to conduct a systematic search and screening of literature relevant to the use of 3D printed models in the treatment of kidney stones. We conducted an extensive literature search across several major academic databases, including EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, SCIE, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Search databases, to ensure comprehensive coverage of relevant studies. Following the PRISMA process of screening and analysis, we ultimately included 10 randomized controlled trials with a combined sample of 608 for systematic review. CONCLUSIONS Across these studies, we identified the introduction of 3D printing models prior to surgery for kidney stones resulted in significant advantages for the experimental group compared to the control group in terms of operation time, stone clearance rates, puncture accuracy, hospital stay, blood loss, and the incidence of complications, providing valuable insights for further research and clinical practice.

Abstract
Purpose: To analyze the bibliometric publication trend on the application of "Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its subsets (Machine Learning-ML, Virtual reality-VR, Radiomics) in Urolithiasis" over 3 decades. We looked at the publication trends associated with AI and stone disease, including both clinical and surgical applications, and training in endourology. Methods: Through a MeshTerms research on PubMed, we performed a comprehensive review from 1994-2023 for all published articles on "AI, ML, VR, and Radiomics." Articles were then divided into three categories as follows: A-Clinical (Nonsurgical), B-Clinical (Surgical), and C-Training articles, and articles were then assigned to following three periods: Period-1 (1994-2003), Period-2 (2004-2013), and Period-3 (2014-2023). Results: A total of 343 articles were noted (Groups A-129, B-163, and C-51), and trends increased from Period-1 to Period-2 at 123% (p = 0.009) and to period-3 at 453% (p = 0.003). This increase from Period-2 to Period-3 for groups A, B, and C was 476% (p = 0.019), 616% (0.001), and 185% (p < 0.001), respectively. Group A articles included rise in articles on "stone characteristics" (+2100%; p = 0.011), "renal function" (p = 0.002), "stone diagnosis" (+192%), "prediction of stone passage" (+400%), and "quality of life" (+1000%). Group B articles included rise in articles on "URS" (+2650%, p = 0.008), "PCNL"(+600%, p = 0.001), and "SWL" (+650%, p = 0.018). Articles on "Targeting" (+453%, p < 0.001), "Outcomes" (+850%, p = 0.013), and "Technological Innovation" (p = 0.0311) had rising trends. Group C articles included rise in articles on "PCNL" (+300%, p = 0.039) and "URS" (+188%, p = 0.003). Conclusion: Publications on AI and its subset areas for urolithiasis have seen an exponential increase over the last decade, with an increase in surgical and nonsurgical clinical areas, as well as in training. Future AI related growth in the field of endourology and urolithiasis is likely to improve training, patient centered decision-making, and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
As the medical applications of three-dimensional (3D) printing increase, so does the number of health care organizations in which adoption or expansion of 3D printing facilities is under consideration. With recent advancements in 3D printing technology, medical practitioners have embraced this powerful tool to help them to deliver high-quality patient care, with a focus on sustainability. The use of 3D printing in the hospital or clinic at the point of care (POC) has profound potential, but its adoption is not without unanticipated challenges and considerations. The authors provide the basic principles and considerations for building the infrastructure to support 3D printing inside the hospital. This process includes building a business case; determining the requirements for facilities, space, and staff; designing a digital workflow; and considering how electronic health records may have a role in the future. The authors also discuss the supported applications and benefits of medical 3D printing and briefly highlight quality and regulatory considerations. The information presented is meant to be a practical guide to assist radiology departments in exploring the possibilities of POC 3D printing and expanding it from a niche application to a fixture of clinical care. An invited commentary by Ballard is available online. ©RSNA, 2022.
