With the rising incidence of urinary stone disease, web searches for stone treatments are increasing. Google Trends (GT) data for a 10-year period and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic were used to investigate the trend variations for the most popular minimally invasive stone therapies based on time and region. GT can create a line graph that shows how interest in various territories has risen or decreased over time. Search terms were generated for extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), ureterorenoscopy (URS), and laparoscopic pyelolithotomy/ureterolithotomy. Using the "global" inquiry category, the data were included "worldwide" from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2021. In recent years, Google and YouTube searches for total minimally invasive stone treatments have increased. RIRS, URS, and PCNL trends revealed a substantial rise in the regression analysis ( < 0.05), but SWL trends showed a significant reduction ( < 0.05). RIRS was the main intervention with interest growing most over time. Web searches for stone treatments decreased in the first period of the COVID-19 pandemic. To a rising degree of involvement, patients and physicians from all over the world utilize the internet to search for minimally invasive stone operations. RIRS, URS, and PCNL are becoming more popular in web trends and SWL still has the highest trend despite the decline in popularity recently. The number of trustworthy web-based tools about stone treatments should be increased, and patients and physicians should be directed to these sources.
随着尿石症发病率的上升，网络上对结石治疗的搜索量也在增加。利用谷歌趋势（GT）10年期间以及2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间的数据，根据时间和地区调查最流行的微创结石治疗方法的趋势变化。GT可以创建一个折线图，显示不同地区的关注度随时间的上升或下降情况。生成了体外冲击波碎石术（SWL）、经皮肾镜取石术（PCNL）、逆行肾内手术（RIRS）、输尿管肾镜检查（URS）以及腹腔镜肾盂切开取石术/输尿管切开取石术的搜索词。使用“全球”查询类别，数据涵盖了2009年1月1日至2021年12月31日的“全球范围”。近年来，谷歌和YouTube上对微创结石治疗的总搜索量有所增加。RIRS、URS和PCNL的趋势在回归分析中显示出显著上升（<0.05），但SWL的趋势显示出显著下降（<0.05）。RIRS是主要的干预措施，随着时间的推移关注度增长最为显著。在COVID-19大流行的第一阶段，网络上对结石治疗的搜索量有所下降。世界各地的患者和医生越来越多地利用互联网搜索微创结石手术。RIRS、URS和PCNL在网络趋势中越来越受欢迎，尽管SWL最近人气有所下降，但仍然具有最高的搜索趋势。应增加关于结石治疗的可靠网络工具的数量，并引导患者和医生获取这些资源。
