Body position and kidney stone removal results
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 a new patient position (T-tilted) during minimally invasive kidney stone removal. It might help stones pass more easily and reduce surgery time.
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: mini-PCNL (a small incision in your back) versus flexible ureteroscopy with a suction sheath (a tube through the urinary tract). It aims to find which method works better and is safer for stones of this size.
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 study compares different patient body positions during a minimally invasive procedure (flexible ureteroscopy) to remove kidney stones from the upper ureter. The goal is to find the best positioning to make stone removal easier and more successful.
This trial tests if lying on your side vs. on your back during a scope procedure to remove lower kidney stones smaller than 2 cm is better or safer. The goal is to find which position leads to fewer complications and more complete stone removal.
This study is testing whether the position you lie in during a kidney stone surgery (called RIRS) and the type of tube used can affect the results. It may help doctors choose the best approach for removing stones.
