Laser power comparison for kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two laser settings (high power vs. low power) during a minimally invasive surgery to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see which setting is safer and more effective for breaking up stones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You do not have an active urinary tract infection.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder.

This study compares a standard kidney stone removal procedure (ureteroscopy with laser) to a newer suction-based technology. If you have a kidney stone that needs surgery, this trial may help your doctor find the best way to remove it.
This study compares two laser power settings during a procedure (ureteroscopy) to break up kidney stones. It aims to see which setting works well and is safe for treating stones in the urinary tract.
This trial compares two types of lasers used to break up kidney and ureter stones during a ureteroscopy procedure. The goal is to see which laser works better at breaking stones into smaller pieces.
This trial tests two different lasers (HoYAG and TFL) used with a device called ClearPetra during a type of kidney stone surgery called mini-PCNL. It may help find which laser works better for people with larger kidney stones.
This study compares two different lasers used during surgery to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see which laser works better and is safer for patients.
This trial compares two laser devices used during a common procedure to break up and remove kidney or ureter stones. It aims to see which laser is more effective and safer for people with moderately sized stones.
