Comparing two kidney stone treatment tools
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 trial compares two methods used during surgery to treat kidney stones. It looks at whether one type of tube (a fan-shaped access sheath) causes less kidney injury after surgery than the standard tube. This could help patients have a safer recovery.
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: one uses a special scope to see and break up stones with a laser, and the other is a newer method. If you have stones up to 3 centimeters, this trial might help your doctor choose the safest and most effective approach.
This trial tests if a new steerable scope works better than a standard scope for removing small kidney stones (<2 cm) from the lower part of the kidney. It aims to find a safer and more effective way to treat these stones.
This trial tests a new flexible suction tube for kidney stone removal versus the standard tube. It aims to see if the new tool works better and is safer for patients with small kidney stones.
This study compares two methods for breaking up kidney stones smaller than 2 centimeters during a procedure using a flexible tube. The goal is to see which method is better at clearing stones and how it affects recovery.
