Kidney Stone Surgery Comparison in Children
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is 12 years old or younger.
- The kidney stone is between 10 and 20 millimeters (about 0.4 to 0.8 inches).
- Your child is healthy enough for surgery (low anesthesia risk).
- You are able to give permission for your child to take part.
- Your child does not have a bleeding disorder, active urinary infection, or unusual kidney shape.

This study compares two positions (lying on your back vs. on your stomach) for a surgery called PNL (percutaneous nephrolithotomy) to remove kidney stones in children. It aims to find which position is safer and more comfortable for kids.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to remove small-to-medium kidney stones (1 to 2.5 cm). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective, possibly leading to quicker recovery and fewer side effects.
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 study compares two methods of using a thin, flexible scope to remove kidney stones smaller than 2 cm in children. One method uses a standard tube, and the other uses a special flexible tube that can suction out stone fragments. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for kids.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques to remove bladder stones in children ages 2–14. Both approaches aim to break up and remove stones with less recovery time than traditional open surgery.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries for removing kidney stones that are 2 to 3 cm in size. It aims to find which technique is more effective and has fewer side effects.
