This study compares two types of ureteral access sheaths used during flexible ureterorenoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure to remove kidney stones smaller than 2 cm in children. The goal is to see which tool works better and is safer for your child.
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 study compares two methods used during surgery to remove kidney stones. It will see if a new device is as safe and effective as the standard one for breaking up and removing stones.
This trial compares two different tubes used during surgery to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see if one type works better than the other for clearing stones safely.
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.
