Real cases should teach decision-making, not just outcomes.

A clean case library can turn social media stories into structured educational assets. Each case should show the logic behind success, caution or failure.

Case lesson 01

Lower ureter stone treated non-invasively

7 mmLower ureterTargeting lesson

This case can demonstrate how the right approach, positioning and imaging logic can improve confidence in lower ureter SWL.

Teaching point: Good outcome stories should explain the method, not only celebrate the result.

Case lesson 02

Lower pole stone with unfavorable anatomy

11 mmLower poleAnatomy risk

This case can teach why fragment clearance is not only about stone fragmentation but also about calyceal anatomy.

Teaching point: Anatomy can decide whether fragments pass after successful fragmentation.

Case lesson 03

Hard stone requiring realistic counseling

High HUProtocolExpectation

Use this format to discuss stone density, number of sessions, alternative options and proper patient counseling.

Teaching point: A technically possible SWL case is not always the most efficient SWL case.

Case lesson 04

Failure review: poor coupling and rushed ramping

Process failureTeam trainingQuality control

Failure review can become a powerful teaching section if presented constructively and without patient-identifiable details.

Teaching point: Many SWL failures are preventable process failures.

Case review format

Every case should follow the same structure.

This makes the page credible, educational and easy to expand over time.
