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.

This study compares two methods for breaking up kidney stones smaller than 2 centimeters during a procedure using a flexible tube. The goal is to see which method is better at clearing stones and how it affects recovery.
This study compares two ways of doing a surgery called ureteroscopy to remove kidney stones. One method uses a special tube called a sheath, and the other doesn't. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better.
This trial compares two laser settings (high power vs. low power) during a minimally invasive surgery to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see which setting is safer and more effective for breaking up stones.
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 trial compares two laser devices used during a common procedure to break up and remove kidney or ureter stones. It aims to see which laser is more effective and safer for people with moderately sized stones.
