Comparing a new flexible ureteroscope for kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a specific flexible scope (Shenzhen HugeMed 6.3 French) for removing kidney or ureter stones. It looks at how well it works, costs, and recovery, and may be a good option if you have stones smaller than 2.5 cm and need your first such surgery.

This study compares two sizes of flexible ureteroscopes (small tubes used to remove kidney stones) to see if a thinner one is just as safe and effective as a slightly thicker one. You might join if you're having a ureteroscopy for small kidney stones.
This trial tests if a new steerable scope works better than a standard scope for removing small kidney stones (<2 cm) from the lower part of the kidney. It aims to find a safer and more effective way to treat these stones.
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 trial compares two types of disposable flexible ureteroscopes to see which works better for removing kidney stones in children. If your child has a single kidney stone or multiple stones that add up to less than 20 mm, this study may help guide better treatment.
This study compares different types of flexible ureteroscopes used to remove kidney stones. It looks at how well they work and their safety.
