To improve patient outcomes and optimize care delivery for urolithiasis in the Saudi population.

Main Methods:

Adaptation of established international guidelines for the Saudi context.
Directed literature search for high-quality evidence, including meta-analyses and RCTs.
Inclusion of locally relevant studies specific to the Saudi Arabian population.
Recommendations formulated using GRADE terminology for direction and strength.

Main Results:

The guidelines cover risk factors, diagnosis, medical and surgical treatments, and prevention strategies.
Recommendations are tailored to the Saudi population, incorporating local data where available.
The guidelines provide a framework for consistent and high-quality urolithiasis care.

Conclusions:

The Saudi Urolithiasis Guidelines provide a vital resource for healthcare professionals.
Implementation of these guidelines is expected to improve the quality of care for individuals with urolithiasis in Saudi Arabia.
