Comparing two methods for treating large kidney stones in children
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two different surgical techniques—FANS and DISS—to treat kidney stones larger than 2 centimeters in children under 18. The goal is to see which method works better, causes fewer complications, and helps children recover faster.

This study compares two different ureteral access sheaths used during flexible ureteroscopy (a scope through the urinary tract) to treat kidney stones. It aims to see if one type leads to better outcomes than the other.
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 study compares two minimally invasive procedures to remove small-to-medium kidney stones (1 to 2.5 cm). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective, possibly leading to quicker recovery and fewer side effects.
This study compares two methods of using a thin, flexible scope to remove kidney stones smaller than 2 cm in children. One method uses a standard tube, and the other uses a special flexible tube that can suction out stone fragments. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for kids.
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries for removing kidney stones that are 2 to 3 cm in size. It aims to find which technique is more effective and has fewer side effects.
This study compares two methods of removing kidney stones from the lower part of the kidney using a thin, flexible scope. One method uses a special suction tube, and the other uses suction from above. The goal is to find which approach is safer and more effective.
