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 study compares two methods of using a thin, flexible scope to remove kidney stones smaller than 2 cm in children. One method uses a standard tube, and the other uses a special flexible tube that can suction out stone fragments. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for kids.
This trial tests a new device that combines a laser and a suction sheath to break up and remove kidney or ureter stones. It may help people with stones between 6mm and 20mm who are scheduled for a specific type of stone surgery.
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 to 3 cm in size. It aims to find which technique is more effective and has fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways of breaking up small kidney stones (less than 2 cm) using a thin flexible scope: fragmentation (breaking into pieces) or dusting (turning into powder). The goal is to see which method clears stones better. If you have a small kidney stone and are healthy enough for the procedure, this trial might help decide the best treatment for you.
This study compares two methods of removing kidney stones from the lower part of the kidney using a thin, flexible scope. One method uses a special suction tube, and the other uses suction from above. The goal is to find which approach is safer and more effective.
