Low risk kidney stone surgery study
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a low-risk surgery for removing kidney stones. It checks if the procedure is safe and effective for people with small to medium stones and no active infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your kidney stone is smaller than 3 centimeters or covers an area less than 900 square millimeters.

- You are not taking or have not taken antibiotics for a UTI in the last 4 weeks.

This trial tests whether two common medications—tamsulosin and aminophylline—help surgeons access kidney stones more easily during a minimally invasive procedure called retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). The goal is to make the surgery smoother and potentially reduce complications.
This study compares two ways of getting a needle to the kidney for PCNL surgery (a procedure to remove stones). It aims to find which approach is safer and more effective for people with kidney stones between 1.5 and 3 cm.
This study tests a surgery that uses a thin scope through the urethra to help remove large, branched kidney stones (staghorn stones) through a small incision in your back. It aims to safely remove more stones with fewer complications.
This trial tests if using a special suction tube during surgery to remove kidney stones can lower the risk of infection. It is for people with small to medium-sized stones in the kidney or upper ureter.
This study looks at whether certain factors increase the chance of fever or serious infection after a type of kidney stone surgery called retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). The goal is to help doctors better understand and prevent these complications.
This study compares two types of surgery for removing kidney stones in children. It aims to see which method works better and is safer for stones up to 2 cm.
