They also will gain proficiency in advanced ureteroscopy and holmium laser enucleation of the prostate HoLEP as well as advanced laparoscopy. Typical fellows complete at minimum ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy PCNL , and 50 HoLEP cases in one year in addition to laparoscopy cases.

While fellows have the opportunity to participate in robotic cases, robotics is not part of the core training curriculum. For the research aspect of fellowship training, fellows are exposed to a broad range of basic, clinical, and translational research work.

They have ample opportunity to be productive, publishing manuscripts as well as presenting their findings at national and regional scientific meetings. Their training will include mastering strategies to optimize study design and the basics of grantsmanship.

Multiple federally funded projects are currently ongoing that provide fellows with a vast array of areas on which to focus, whether it be clinical, basic, translational, or device development research. Examples include an ongoing prospective research study funded by the NIH is currently establishing a high quality novel registry in urinary stone disease called ReSKU The Registry for Stones of the Kidney and Ureter to understand the natural history of kidney stones and their recurrence.

This registry has supported clinical research projects focused on advancing our implementation of disposable ureteroscopes, ultrasound guidance for stone surgery, and novel therapeutics.

In addition, an open randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial for cystinurics is currently underway. Multiple studies in the novel uses of ultrasound in urinary stone disease treatment and diagnosis are also being undertaken. Current fellows are engaged in data analysis and manuscript preparation related to all of these projects from a clinical research perspective.

An active laboratory experience also exists supporting a Drosophila fruit fly model for urinary stone disease as well as innovations in papillary imaging to understand the microscopic architecture of the kidney that contributes to kidney stone formation. In addition, translational work in genomic and microbiomic analysis of kidney stone patients is underway.
