New laser and suction device for kidney stone treatment
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device that combines a laser with a special suction sheath to remove kidney stones during a standard procedure. It aims to make stone removal more effective by using suction to pull out smaller fragments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two types of lasers used to break up kidney and ureter stones during a ureteroscopy procedure. The goal is to see which laser works better at breaking stones into smaller pieces.
This trial compares two ways of removing kidney stones during a procedure called flexible ureteroscopy. One method uses a special sheath that helps suction out stone fragments, which may improve stone removal and recovery.
This trial compares two laser devices used during a common procedure to break up and remove kidney or ureter stones. It aims to see which laser is more effective and safer for people with moderately sized stones.
This trial compares two different lasers used to break up kidney stones during a procedure called flexible ureteroscopy. It may help determine which laser works better and is safer.
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: one uses a special scope to see and break up stones with a laser, and the other is a newer method. If you have stones up to 3 centimeters, this trial might help your doctor choose the safest and most effective approach.
This study compares a new tissue sensor with standard care during laser surgery to break up a single kidney stone in the ureter. The goal is to see if the sensor makes the surgery safer and more effective.
