Looking together: eye gaze sharing in kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial explores whether sharing where surgeons look (eye gaze) during kidney stone surgery helps the team work together better. It involves surgeons and patients at Vanderbilt who are having endoscopic surgery for kidney stones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a urology resident or attending surgeon at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- If you are a patient, you have kidney stones and are scheduled for endoscopic surgery (a scope through the body to remove stones).

This trial tests a robot that helps doctors remove large kidney stones through a small cut in your back. It may be an option if your stones are too big to pass on their own or didn't clear with other treatments.
This study tests a program to help people who went to the ER for a kidney stone and need to see a urologist. The goal is to see if extra support helps patients attend their follow-up appointment.
This pilot study tests a new surgical tool that combines a camera and suction to remove kidney stones. It may help people with stones of a certain size get a more efficient procedure.
This trial compares a robotic system to a manual tool for removing kidney stones. It aims to see which method works better for people with normal kidney anatomy.
This study tests a new augmented reality tool to help surgeons remove leftover tumor tissue after the first surgery. It might make re-resection more precise and improve cancer clearance.
This study tests whether using virtual reality to learn about your upcoming kidney stone surgery can reduce anxiety and help you feel more prepared. You'll use a VR headset before your procedure to see what to expect.
