    Residual stone fragments (RSFs) after urolithiasis procedures can lead to complications like stone regrowth and infections.

  • 2

    Non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) is the gold standard for detecting RSFs, despite concerns about cost and radiation.

  • 3

    There is no consensus on the clinical significance of RSFs, complicating the management of urolithiasis.

  • 4

    The systematic review aims to standardize definitions and diagnostic modalities for RSFs in urolithiasis treatment.

  • 5

    A risk stratification model for RSF patients is proposed to improve clinical management and outcomes.
