Comparing Two Lasers for Kidney Stone Breaking
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
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 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 different lasers used during surgery to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see which laser works better and is safer for patients.
This study compares two methods for breaking up kidney stones smaller than 2 centimeters during a procedure using a flexible tube. The goal is to see which method is better at clearing stones and how it affects recovery.
