Homework for kidney stone surgery recovery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether giving patients homework to do after their kidney stone surgery helps them recover better. It aims to see if this approach can improve your results after a procedure called retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRC).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to have a surgery called RIRC to remove kidney stones.
- You do not have certain kidney shape problems like horseshoe kidney or narrowed tubes.
- You are not severely overweight (morbid obesity), do not have uncontrolled high blood pressure, have not had a stroke, do not have serious heart disease, and do not have bad acid reflux.
- You do not have a history of a slipped disk in your lower back that required spine surgery and now prevents you from doing behavior therapy.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether placing a temporary tube (called a stent) in the ureter after kidney stone surgery is always necessary. Some patients get a stent to help urine flow, but it can cause discomfort. The trial aims to see if skipping the stent is safe and leads to fewer symptoms. If you are having kidney stone surgery, participating might help determine the best approach for recovery.
This study looks at how your body’s position during surgery affects how well kidney stones are cleared. If you have stones ≤2 cm and are having a scope-based kidney stone removal, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether simple posture exercises you can do at home can help clear small leftover stone pieces from the lower part of your kidney after standard stone treatment. It could spare you from needing more procedures.
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 tests a technique during kidney stone removal surgery (RIRS) where the surgeon fully drains the kidney system at the end of the procedure. Researchers want to see if this approach improves how quickly patients recover and reduces complications.
This trial compares two different surgeries for removing a single kidney stone that is 2 to 3 centimeters in size. One method uses a flexible scope with a suction tube, and the other uses a small incision in the back. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
