Testing a new biodegradable stent for kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new type of temporary tube (stent) that dissolves on its own after being placed in the ureter following kidney stone surgery. It looks at how safe and well the stent works to keep the ureter open while healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial studies whether some people can avoid getting a ureteral stent after ureteroscopy and lithotripsy for a kidney stone. It may help reduce stent-related discomfort while still keeping outcomes safe for the stone problem.
This trial studies a temporary stent that is designed to dissolve in the ureter after a straightforward ureteroscopy to remove a kidney/ureter stone. The goal is to check safety and how well the device performs, and whether it can replace longer-lasting stents for some people.
This trial tests a new type of ureteric stent (a tube that helps drain urine from the kidney) against the standard stent. It is open to patients who have had a stent before and need a new one because of kidney stones or cancer pressing on the ureter.
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 three different approaches to placing a temporary tube (stent) in your ureter after surgery to break up and remove kidney stones. The goal is to find which stenting method works best for your recovery.
This pilot study tests a new surgical tool that combines a camera and suction to remove kidney stones. It may help people with stones of a certain size get a more efficient procedure.
