Ureteroscopy with negative pressure sheath for kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a procedure called ureteroscopy combined with a special sheath that uses negative pressure to remove kidney stones. It may help people with medium-sized stones get a more complete removal in a single treatment.

This trial compares two ways of removing kidney stones during a procedure called flexible ureteroscopy. One method uses a special sheath that helps suction out stone fragments, which may improve stone removal and recovery.
This trial tests a new device that combines a laser with a special suction sheath to remove kidney stones during a standard procedure. It aims to make stone removal more effective by using suction to pull out smaller fragments.
This trial compares two different tubes used during surgery to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see if one type works better than the other for clearing stones safely.
This trial compares a vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath to a standard one during kidney stone surgery (retrograde intrarenal surgery). The goal is to see which might work better and be safer for patients.
This study looks at the use of a ureteral access sheath (a tube that helps the surgeon reach the kidney) in people who already have a ureteral stent (a small tube placed in the ureter) and are having a stone removal procedure called ureteroscopy. It aims to find out if using this sheath is helpful for treating stones in the kidney or ureter.
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.
