Negative pressure suction for kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests if using negative pressure suction during ureteroscopy can reduce fluid absorption and infections. It may help people undergoing kidney stone surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You must have kidney stones and be eligible for a type of surgery called retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS)
- You cannot have other surgeries done at the same time, like PCNL
- You cannot have cancer, urinary tuberculosis, immune system diseases, or hyperthyroidism
- You cannot have congenital kidney problems like polycystic kidney disease or horseshoe kidney
- You must have no untreated urinary tract infection and be healthy enough for surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a technique during kidney stone removal surgery (RIRS) where the surgeon fully drains the kidney system at the end of the procedure. Researchers want to see if this approach improves how quickly patients recover and reduces complications.
This study tests a new device that removes kidney stones using suction and a camera together. It aims to make the procedure more efficient and possibly reduce the need for multiple surgeries.
This trial tests different types of tubes (called ureteral access sheaths) used during a minimally invasive kidney stone removal procedure called RIRS. The goal is to see which type works best and causes the least damage to your ureter (the tube that carries urine from your kidney).
This study compares different ways of breathing during kidney stone surgery to reduce kidney movement, which may make the surgery more precise. It could help patients have a smoother procedure and better outcomes.
This trial compares a vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath to a standard one during kidney stone surgery (retrograde intrarenal surgery). The goal is to see which might work better and be safer for patients.
This study compares a newer device that uses suction to remove kidney stones during surgery to other standard methods. It aims to see which technique clears stones more completely and safely, which could help you recover with fewer remaining stone fragments.
