Compare low vs high laser settings for kidney stone removal
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two laser power settings during a procedure (ureteroscopy) to break up kidney stones. It aims to see which setting works well and is safe for treating stones in the urinary tract.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 years or older
- You have kidney (renal) stones and are scheduled for ureteroscopy (URS) to break them up
- Your stone size is between 8 mm and 25 mm
- You should not have a second ureter stone at the same time
- You should not have urine rerouted through a urinary diversion
- You must not have a current urinary infection or an untreated upper-urinary-tract cancer

This study compares two ways of breaking up small kidney stones (less than 2 cm) using a thin flexible scope: fragmentation (breaking into pieces) or dusting (turning into powder). The goal is to see which method clears stones better. If you have a small kidney stone and are healthy enough for the procedure, this trial might help decide the best treatment for you.
This study compares two ways of removing kidney stones with a scope. One way uses a guiding tube, the other doesn't. If you're having this procedure, the study will help doctors learn which method works better.
This trial compares two power levels of a laser (holmium) used to break up large kidney stones during a type of keyhole surgery called mini-PCNL. It aims to see which power level works better and is safer.
This trial compares two types of lasers used to break up kidney and ureter stones during a ureteroscopy procedure. The goal is to see which laser works better at breaking stones into smaller pieces.
This trial compares two different lasers used to break up kidney stones during a procedure called flexible ureteroscopy. It may help determine which laser works better and is safer.
This study compares two types of lasers (a new super-pulsed thulium fiber laser vs. the standard holmium laser) used during a scope procedure to break up kidney and upper ureter stones. If you have stones between 10 and 25 mm and are scheduled for ureteroscopic surgery, this trial may help determine which laser works better.
