Comparing different types of flexible ureteroscopes for kidney stones
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares different types of flexible ureteroscopes used to remove kidney stones. It looks at how well they work and their safety.

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 different ureteral access sheaths used during flexible ureteroscopy (a scope through the urinary tract) to treat kidney stones. It aims to see if one type leads to better outcomes than the other.
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.
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 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 looks at how well a specific thin camera tool (the LithoVue Elite) works during ureteroscopy and laser treatment for kidney stones. It may help surgeons improve how effectively stones are cleared and how the procedure goes.
