The world of Endourology is changing and so is the future of kidney stone management. New technology and technique coupled with better training has led to safer outcomes for ureteroscopy in stone disease. Along with technological advances, there is also more awareness and research into areas such as urinary microbiome and genomics. One of the latest developments in kidney stone management is the new Thulium Fibre Laser (TFL) and during in-vitro studies, it has shown a great potential for improved ablation, lower retropulsion and improved dusting. Although clinical trials have shown its safety in RIRS and PCNL, clinical comparison to holmium (Ho:YAD) laser is still limited. Concerns about temperature generated during laser lithotripsy are generally overlooked and largely not understood but are significant predictor of perioperative and postoperative outcomes. In order to focus more on generalizability and adaptability of technological advancements in terms of training and improvement of patient outcomes, and based on personalized stone approach with patient preference, This special issue brings together a diverse array of studies and expert opinions to offer a comprehensive overview
