Comparing Two Anesthesia Methods for Urological Surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia during urological surgery: inhaled gases versus a medicine called dexmedetomidine. The goal is to see which one helps you recover more smoothly in the recovery room.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 39 years old or older.
- You have a physical health status of ASA II, III, or IV (meaning you have some health problems, but not critically ill).
- You are scheduled for a urological surgery that uses a scope (like kidney stone, bladder tumor, or prostate surgery) and is not an emergency.
- You will be staying in the recovery room after surgery.
- You do not have dementia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, or a history of head injury.

This trial compares two medications given during surgery to see which provides better pain relief afterward. If you are scheduled for urethral reconstruction, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two common medications, dexmedetomidine and fentanyl, when added to the numbing drug bupivacaine for spinal anesthesia. The goal is to see which one has a lower risk of causing temporary difficulty urinating after surgery on a leg or foot.
This trial studies whether the anesthesia medicines ketamine and dexmedetomidine can improve care during elective lung (video-assisted) surgery. It may help with comfort during and after the operation, depending on how these medicines affect pain and recovery.
This study tests whether giving two medicines together after laparoscopic ureter reconstruction can reduce depression and anxiety. The medicines are given through your IV pain pump after surgery.
This trial tests if giving two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, during and after surgery can help you feel better and recover more comfortably. It is for adults having general anesthesia for at least one hour who will use a patient-controlled pain pump afterward.
This trial tests if the drug dexmedetomidine can help older patients keep their thinking and memory clear after robotic urological surgery. It is for people 65 and older who are having robotic surgery on their urinary system.
