Understanding Inflammatory Polyps in Kidney Stone Surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at what causes inflammatory polyps (growths) to form in the ureter when you have kidney stones. By understanding these risk factors, doctors hope to better predict and prevent complications during stone removal surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a kidney stone in your ureter (the tube connecting kidney to bladder) that needs surgical removal
- You have complete medical records and imaging scans available
- You do not have kidney stones on both sides
- You have not had a drainage tube or stent placed before surgery
- You do not have a history of cancer in your ureter or bladder

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study measures the angle of your ureter (the tube that carries urine from your kidney) on imaging scans to predict whether a camera-based stone removal procedure will need to be converted to a larger surgery. Understanding this angle may help doctors prepare better and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a new smart ureteroscope that controls pressure and temperature to remove kidney or ureteral stones while you have a urinary tract infection. It may offer a safer way to treat stones without needing to wait for the infection to clear.
This study looks at how the body reacts to calcium-based kidney stones. It compares people who have had a calcium-based kidney stone with healthy volunteers to understand inflammation better.
This study compares three different approaches to placing a temporary tube (stent) in your ureter after surgery to break up and remove kidney stones. The goal is to find which stenting method works best for your recovery.
This study compares different patient body positions during a minimally invasive procedure (flexible ureteroscopy) to remove kidney stones from the upper ureter. The goal is to find the best positioning to make stone removal easier and more successful.
This study looks at pain levels after a procedure to remove stones from the ureter (the tube connecting your kidney to your bladder). It may help find better ways to manage pain after surgery.
