Comparing Two Anesthesia Methods for Urological Surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain 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.

This study tests whether combining two medications, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, given during and after surgery can reduce feelings of depression and anxiety after a procedure to repair a narrowed urine tube. It may help improve your mood and recovery after surgery.
This study tests whether adding a drug called dexmedetomidine during your surgery can reduce the amount of remifentanil (a strong painkiller) you need. This might help you recover more comfortably after laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
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 compares two anesthesia medicines (fospropofol and propofol) to see which one makes people more comfortable during a ureteroscopy procedure. If you are scheduled for this procedure, you may be able to participate.
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 study tests whether two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, can reduce discomfort from a urinary catheter after bladder or prostate surgery. If you are having this type of surgery and need a catheter, this trial may help find a better way to manage that discomfort.
