Stent and sheath size and pain after kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares whether the size of the stent and the sheath used during kidney stone surgery affects how much pain you feel afterward. If you are having a stone removal procedure and will get a stent with a string, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having surgery to remove a kidney stone from your kidney or ureter.
- After surgery, you will have a ureteral stent — a small tube that helps urine drain — and it will have a string attached so it can be removed easily.
- You are not currently pregnant (this will be confirmed before surgery).
- Your surgeon did not find an injury to the ureter that would require the stent to stay in for more than 10 days.

This study looks at how uncomfortable or bothersome ureteral stents (small tubes placed in the urinary tract after kidney stone treatment) can be, and whether using imaging to pick the right stent length reduces symptoms. You'll answer questions about any stent-related discomfort you experience.
This study looks at whether placing a temporary tube (called a stent) in the ureter after kidney stone surgery is always necessary. Some patients get a stent to help urine flow, but it can cause discomfort. The trial aims to see if skipping the stent is safe and leads to fewer symptoms. If you are having kidney stone surgery, participating might help determine the best approach for recovery.
This study compares four types of ureteral stents to see which causes the fewest side effects after kidney stone treatment. If you have a stent placed after stone surgery, your symptoms will be tracked to help find the best option.
This study compares a regular double J stent with a newer Comfi J stent to see which causes fewer symptoms after ureteroscopy for kidney stones. It may help patients who need a temporary stent choose one with less discomfort.
This trial is looking at whether placing a small tube (stent) in the ureter before a type of keyhole surgery for kidney stones helps with outcomes like pain and success of the procedure. It aims to see if this pre-treatment makes the surgery easier, potentially reducing complications and improving stone removal.
This study compares three different approaches to placing a temporary tube (stent) in your ureter after surgery to break up and remove kidney stones. The goal is to find which stenting method works best for your recovery.
