Comparing two methods to remove 2-3 cm kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 to remove kidney stones: mini-PCNL (a small incision in your back) versus flexible ureteroscopy with a suction sheath (a tube through the urinary tract). It aims to find which method works better and is safer for stones of this size.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to remove small-to-medium kidney stones (1 to 2.5 cm). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective, possibly leading to quicker recovery and fewer side effects.
This trial compares two different surgical methods for removing medium-sized kidney stones (about the size of a grape) using a minimally invasive camera procedure. The goal is to see which approach works better and causes fewer complications.
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 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 study compares two types of surgery (mini PCNL and flexible ureteroscopy) to remove kidney stones in children. The goal is to find out which approach works better and causes fewer side effects.
