FANS versus DISS for kidney stones larger than 2 centimeters
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two minimally invasive procedures (FANS and DISS) for treating kidney stones larger than 2 centimeters in children and teenagers. It aims to find which method is more effective and safer for removing these larger stones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Patient must be under 18 years old.
- Kidney stone size must be larger than 2 centimeters (about 0.8 inches).
- Patient must not have a JJ stent (a small tube placed in the urinary tract).
- Patient must not have a current urinary tract infection (UTI).

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 minimally invasive surgeries for removing kidney stones that are 2–3 cm in size. One uses a special vacuum to help clear stone fragments, and the other uses suction. Both are done through a small tube in the back, and the goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective.
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 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.
This trial compares two ways of removing kidney stones from the lower part of the kidney using a thin tube that goes through your urinary tract. One method uses a new suction device to help pull stone pieces out during the procedure, and the other uses suction from above. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for people with stones in the lower kidney.
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.
