Comparing patient position for lower kidney stone removal
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two patient positions during a minimally invasive procedure to remove kidney stones located in the lower part of the kidney. The goal is to find out which position is more comfortable and effective for stone removal.
