Comparing two types of ureteral stents for children with kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares whether a special anti-reflux stent causes fewer symptoms than a standard DJ stent in children treated for kidney stones. The goal is to find which stent is more comfortable and has fewer side effects.

This trial compares two types of temporary drainage tubes (stents) placed in the ureter—the tube that carries urine from kidney to bladder—after surgery to remove kidney or ureteral stones. The study measures which stent causes fewer uncomfortable symptoms during the 2-week recovery period.
This study compares two types of surgery (mini PCNL and flexible ureteroscopy) to remove kidney stones in children. The goal is to find out which approach works better and causes fewer side effects.
This trial compares two methods used during surgery to treat kidney stones. It looks at whether one type of tube (a fan-shaped access sheath) causes less kidney injury after surgery than the standard tube. This could help patients have a safer recovery.
This trial compares two types of disposable flexible ureteroscopes to see which works better for removing kidney stones in children. If your child has a single kidney stone or multiple stones that add up to less than 20 mm, this study may help guide better treatment.
This trial compares two types of ureteral stents (small tubes that help urine drain from the kidney to the bladder) in children having surgery for kidney stones. The goal is to see which type causes fewer symptoms like pain or discomfort.
This study compares a regular double J stent with a newer Comfi J stent to see which causes fewer symptoms after ureteroscopy for kidney stones. It may help patients who need a temporary stent choose one with less discomfort.
