DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A generation ago, the management of patients with symptomatic stones was forever dramatically altered with the introduction of minimally invasive treatment such as shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy and precutaneous stone removal. After many years of incremental improvements, the field of urolithiasis is on the cusp of, again, revolutionary discoveries in the management and prevention of kidney stone disease. In addition, there has been very few major international meeting that have focused on the new clinical and basic science discoveries in this field. Thus, the International Kidney Stone Institute (IKSI) believes the time is right to hold a symposium to address the clinical and basic science aspects of both kidney pathogenesis and treatment. Therefore, IKSI has organized and will host a symposium entitled "the Ist Annual International Urolithiasis Research symposium" that will bring together forty clinical and basic science experts from around the globe to: 1) address the latest findings in nephrolithiasis, 2) examine a select group of state-of-the-art techniques that appear to have the potential to rapidly advance our understanding of how stone form and grow and 3) provide an scientific atmosphere to stimulate and challenge students and junior faculty members to consider a career in kidney stone disease. Another feature of this symposium is that a number of international scientists that have never participated in a symposium together will discuss kidney stone disease from their area of expertise. Finally, because the clinical and basic science topics relevant to kidney stone disease cross a number of disciplines, no one society has covered this field completely at their annual meeting. Therefore, in our view, there appears to be a critical need in the field of nephrolithiasis for a comprehensive international meeting that is conducted on a regular basis so that new data and ideas can be easily and rapidly shared with the goal of improving care for all kidney stone patients.

描述（由申请人提供）： 上一代人，随着冲击波碎石术、输尿管镜检查和皮前取石等微创治疗的引入，对有症状结石患者的治疗发生了巨大的改变。经过多年的逐步改进，尿石症领域再次处于肾结石疾病治疗和预防革命性发现的风口浪尖。此外，很少有大型国际会议关注该领域的临床和基础科学新发现。因此，国际肾结石研究所 (IKSI) 认为，现在是举办研讨会来讨论肾脏发病机制和治疗的临床和基础科学方面的最佳时机。因此，IKSI 组织并将举办题为“第一届年度国际尿石症研究研讨会”的研讨会，该研讨会将汇集来自全球的 40 名临床和基础科学专家：1) 讨论肾结石的最新发现，2) 研究一组精选的最先进技术，这些技术似乎有潜力迅速增进我们对结石如何形成和生长的理解，3) 提供科学依据 激发和挑战学生和初级教师考虑从事职业的氛围 肾结石疾病。本次研讨会的另一个特点是，多位从未参加过研讨会的国际科学家将从各自的专业领域共同探讨肾结石疾病。最后，因为与肾结石疾病相关的临床和基础科学主题 跨多个学科，没有一个学会在年会上完全涵盖了这一领域。因此，我们认为，肾结石领域似乎迫切需要定期举行一次全面的国际会议，以便可以轻松、快速地分享新数据和想法，以改善对所有肾结石患者的护理。
