Comparing two types of single-use ureteroscopes for kidney stones in children
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is scheduled for ureteroscopy (a tube-like scope through the urinary tract) to treat a kidney stone
- The kidney stone(s) must be between 5 mm and 20 mm in total size
- Your child is under 14 years old
- If your child is under 8, a parent must sign the consent form; if 8 or older, both parent and child must sign
- Your child does not have an uncontrolled urinary tract infection or a bleeding disorder

This study compares two different sizes of flexible ureteroscopes to treat kidney and upper ureter stones using a laser. The goal is to see which size works better while keeping similar stone-breaking power.
This trial tests a specific flexible scope (Shenzhen HugeMed 6.3 French) for removing kidney or ureter stones. It looks at how well it works, costs, and recovery, and may be a good option if you have stones smaller than 2.5 cm and need your first such surgery.
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 different ureteral access sheaths used during flexible ureteroscopy (a scope through the urinary tract) to treat kidney stones. It aims to see if one type leads to better outcomes than the other.
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 different surgical techniques—FANS and DISS—to treat kidney stones larger than 2 centimeters in children under 18. The goal is to see which method works better, causes fewer complications, and helps children recover faster.
