Kidney stone surgery in a tilted position
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 17 years or older.
- You have a kidney stone up to 2.5 cm (about 1 inch) in size.
- You do not currently have a ureteral stent (a small tube in your ureter).
- You have not had previous open kidney surgery or kidney trauma.
- You do not have any kidney shape abnormalities.
- You do not have an active or untreated urinary tract infection (UTI).

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 compares two minimally invasive surgeries for removing kidney stones that are 2–3 cm in size. One uses a special vacuum to help clear stone fragments, and the other uses suction. Both are done through a small tube in the back, and the goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective.
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 is testing whether changing the amount of water and suction used during a standard kidney stone surgery can help clear stones better and more safely. If you have a moderate-sized kidney stone, your doctors will use one of two water flow settings during the procedure to see which works best.
This trial studies whether some people can avoid getting a ureteral stent after ureteroscopy and lithotripsy for a kidney stone. It may help reduce stent-related discomfort while still keeping outcomes safe for the stone problem.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to remove small-to-medium kidney stones (1 to 2.5 cm). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective, possibly leading to quicker recovery and fewer side effects.
