Salvaging donor kidneys with stones
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a way to remove kidney stones from donated kidneys before transplant, using a flexible scope to break up the stones. It might help people who receive a kidney that has stones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a deceased organ donor whose kidney has kidney stones
- The stones are removed using a special scope before the kidney is transplanted
- You are not a donor without kidney stones or whose stones are not treated this way

This trial compares a robot-assisted method to the standard procedure for removing kidney stones. It aims to see if the robotic approach is safer or more effective.
This study looks at how well a new device that suctions out kidney stone fragments works compared to usual methods. It may help people who need a procedure to break up or remove kidney stones.
This trial compares a robotic system to a manual tool for removing kidney stones. It aims to see which method works better for people with normal kidney anatomy.
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: mini-PCNL (a small incision in your back) versus flexible ureteroscopy with a suction sheath (a tube through the urinary tract). It aims to find which method works better and is safer for stones of this size.
This trial compares two different surgical methods for removing medium-sized kidney stones (about the size of a grape) using a minimally invasive camera procedure. The goal is to see which approach works better and causes fewer complications.
This study compares a standard kidney stone removal procedure (ureteroscopy with laser) to a newer suction-based technology. If you have a kidney stone that needs surgery, this trial may help your doctor find the best way to remove it.
