DR. NGUYEN NGOC TIEN AND MSC., SPECIALIST LEVEL II DR. NGO THANH MAI PRESENT A RARE CYSTINE STAGHORN KIDNEY STONE CASE AT THE 2026 JAPANESE UROLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (JUA) ANNUAL MEETING

15/05/2026

At the 113th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Urological Association (JUA) 2026, held from April 23–26, 2026, at the Kyoto International Conference Center, Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Tien and MSc., Specialist Level II Dr. Ngo Thanh Mai from the Nephrology–Urology–Andrology Center of American International Hospital (AIH) presented a scientific report on a rare and complex case of recurrent cystine staghorn kidney stones. The patient had experienced multiple episodes of rapid stone recurrence and was successfully treated at AIH.

The presentation focused on the patient’s diagnostic workup and an individualized treatment approach. The treatment strategy was carefully discussed and implemented using a minimally invasive Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (Mini-PCNL) technique, combined with multidisciplinary collaboration and long-term disease management. This comprehensive approach helped optimize treatment outcomes, reduce the risk of recurrence, and preserve renal function.

According to data, cystinuria affects approximately 1 in 10,000 people worldwide. It is a rare inherited disorder that predisposes patients to the rapid formation of recurrent cystine stones. Although cystine stones account for only about 1–2% of urinary stone cases in adults, they are considered among the most challenging types of urinary stones to manage because of their high recurrence rate and potential to impair kidney function if not effectively controlled.

The report attracted significant interest from international urology experts due to the complexity of the condition and its practical value in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cystine stone recurrence, particularly among Asian populations.

Notably, several presentations explored the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical urology practice.

American International Hospital (AIH) was honored to be among the Vietnamese healthcare institutions presenting scientific research at this prestigious international academic forum, underscoring its clinical expertise and ability to effectively apply advanced treatment techniques in the field of Urology and Andrology.
