Robot-assisted kidney stone removal trial
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a robot-assisted telescope-guided procedure to break up kidney stones. It may be an option if you have a kidney stone smaller than about 1.6 cm and are already scheduled for a ureteroscopy (RIRS).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a kidney stone that is less than about 1.6 cm (1.6 cm) in its longest dimension
- Your doctor has said you need a procedure called RIRS (a telescope-guided stone removal through the urinary tract)
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate
- You do not have any condition that makes surgery risky, like a serious infection, bleeding disorder, or advanced cancer

This trial compares a robot-assisted method to the standard procedure for removing kidney stones. It aims to see if the robotic approach is safer or more effective.
This study looks at how safe and effective a minimally invasive procedure called RIRS (using a flexible scope to break up and remove stones) is when done under local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. If you have a kidney or upper ureteral stone, this may help you avoid general anesthesia and recover faster.
This trial tests a new smart scope that automatically controls pressure and temperature during stone removal surgery. It aims to make the procedure safer for people who have a kidney stone and a urinary tract infection.
This trial tests a sensor that helps surgeons remove kidney stones while you're asleep, potentially reducing the need to pause your breathing during surgery. It aims to make the procedure safer and faster for patients.
This study tests a robot called LARC that helps doctors place a needle into the kidney to remove large or difficult kidney stones. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and possibly safer than traditional methods.
This trial tests a new robotic system for removing kidney tumors up to 7 cm. It aims to see if the technology helps surgeons perform partial nephrectomy (removing only the tumor) safely and effectively.
