Kidney Stone Surgery Technique and Recovery Study
Part of Kidney & urinary, Pain, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old
- You have been diagnosed with kidney stones and are scheduled for RIRS (a minimally invasive surgery to remove kidney stones)
- You must sign a consent form agreeing to participate
- You cannot have participated in another clinical trial in the past month
- You must not have a pre-placed stent in your ureter (the tube that drains urine from your kidney)
- You cannot have a solitary kidney (you need both kidneys to be functional)

This trial tests if using negative pressure suction during ureteroscopy can reduce fluid absorption and infections. It may help people undergoing kidney stone surgery.
This trial compares two different surgeries for removing a single kidney stone that is 2 to 3 centimeters in size. One method uses a flexible scope with a suction tube, and the other uses a small incision in the back. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
This pilot study tests a new surgical tool that combines a camera and suction to remove kidney stones. It may help people with stones of a certain size get a more efficient procedure.
This trial compares two different surgical methods for removing medium-sized kidney stones (about the size of a grape) using a minimally invasive camera procedure. The goal is to see which approach works better and causes fewer complications.
This trial is looking at whether placing a small tube (stent) in the ureter before a type of keyhole surgery for kidney stones helps with outcomes like pain and success of the procedure. It aims to see if this pre-treatment makes the surgery easier, potentially reducing complications and improving stone removal.
This study looks at how well a new device that suctions out kidney stone fragments works compared to usual methods. It may help people who need a procedure to break up or remove kidney stones.
