Smart scope for kidney stone removal with infection
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new smart scope that automatically controls pressure and temperature during stone removal surgery. It aims to make the procedure safer for people who have a kidney stone and a urinary tract infection.
