Smart scope for kidney stone removal with infection
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new smart ureteroscope that controls pressure and temperature to remove kidney or ureteral stones while you have a urinary tract infection. It may offer a safer way to treat stones without needing to wait for the infection to clear.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old and can have surgery.
- You have one or more stones in your upper ureter or kidney, with total size between 10 mm and 20 mm.
- You have a confirmed urinary tract infection that has been treated with antibiotics before surgery.
- You do not have severe bleeding problems, uncontrolled infection, or difficulty lying flat during surgery.
- You are not pregnant, planning pregnancy within 3 months, or breastfeeding.

This study compares two different ureteral access sheaths used during flexible ureteroscopy (a scope through the urinary tract) to treat kidney stones. It aims to see if one type leads to better outcomes than the other.
This trial tests a special scope that measures pressure inside the kidney during stone removal. It may help surgeons make safer decisions for people with large kidney stones.
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 trial compares a robotic system to a manual tool for removing kidney stones. It aims to see which method works better for people with normal kidney anatomy.
