How long to rest the ureter before repair surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares different lengths of time for resting the ureter (with a drainage tube) before surgery to fix a narrowed ureter. It helps doctors find the best timing for better surgical outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery to repair a narrowed ureter.
- You will be switching from a ureteral stent to a drainage tube through your back before surgery.
- You are willing and able to sign a consent form and understand the study.

This study compares four types of ureteral stents to see which causes the fewest side effects after kidney stone treatment. If you have a stent placed after stone surgery, your symptoms will be tracked to help find the best option.
This study looks at whether choosing the stent length based on your CT scan reduces discomfort after kidney stone surgery. It compares symptoms in people who get a stent sized this way.
This trial is looking at whether placing a small tube (stent) in the ureter before a type of keyhole surgery for kidney stones helps with outcomes like pain and success of the procedure. It aims to see if this pre-treatment makes the surgery easier, potentially reducing complications and improving stone removal.
This trial tests a dye called Nizaracianine Triflutate that helps surgeons see the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) during surgery. It aims to make surgery safer by reducing the risk of accidentally injuring the ureters.
This study looks at a surgical procedure (urethroplasty) for a condition where the urethra becomes narrowed (urethral stricture). If you join, you will be asked to consent to take part and follow the study rules.
This study looks at whether placing a temporary tube (called a stent) in the ureter after kidney stone surgery is always necessary. Some patients get a stent to help urine flow, but it can cause discomfort. The trial aims to see if skipping the stent is safe and leads to fewer symptoms. If you are having kidney stone surgery, participating might help determine the best approach for recovery.
