Comparing heart health in kidney stone surgery positions
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares how lying on your stomach versus your back during kidney stone removal affects blood flow and heart function. It may help doctors choose the safest position for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a kidney stone that needs to be removed with a small camera through your back (percutaneous nephrolithotomy).

This trial compares two surgical positions—lying on your back (supine) versus lying face-down (prone)—during a minimally invasive kidney stone removal procedure called PCNL. The study aims to find which position leads to better outcomes and fewer complications for patients with large kidney stones.
This study compares two surgical positions (lying on your back vs. lying on your stomach) during a procedure to remove kidney stones. It checks whether the position affects the risk of minor heart muscle injury after surgery.
This trial compares two different surgeries for removing a single kidney stone that is 2 to 3 centimeters in size. One method uses a flexible scope with a suction tube, and the other uses a small incision in the back. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
This trial tests if lying on your side vs. on your back during a scope procedure to remove lower kidney stones smaller than 2 cm is better or safer. The goal is to find which position leads to fewer complications and more complete stone removal.
