Flexible ureteroscopy with dusting for lower kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if using a flexible tube with a laser (FURS) plus special suction (FANS) is better for breaking up and removing stones from the lower part of the kidney. It may help you if you have stones there and are scheduled for a procedure.

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 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 flexible suction tube for kidney stone removal versus the standard tube. It aims to see if the new tool works better and is safer for patients with small kidney stones.
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 trial compares two ways of removing kidney stones from the lower part of the kidney using a thin tube that goes through your urinary tract. One method uses a new suction device to help pull stone pieces out during the procedure, and the other uses suction from above. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for people with stones in the lower kidney.
This study compares two methods for breaking up kidney stones smaller than 2 centimeters during a procedure using a flexible tube. The goal is to see which method is better at clearing stones and how it affects recovery.
