Ureteroscopy angle test to predict surgery complications
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a CT scan before surgery can help predict if a ureteroscopy procedure for kidney stones might need to be changed during the operation. It aims to help doctors plan better and reduce risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have one or more stones in the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder (ureter).
- You are scheduled to have a ureteroscopy to remove the stones.
- You have had a CT scan of your kidney and urinary tract before the surgery, and that scan shows the stones clearly.
- You have not had any previous surgery or drainage tube in the same ureter.
- You do not have stones at the very top or very bottom of the ureter.

This trial tests a method called burst wave lithotripsy (BWL) to help doctors assess and treat kidney stones during a planned ureteroscopy procedure. It may help surgeons confirm how well the stone is being broken while you are on the operating table.
This study checks how accurately doctors can estimate the size of kidney stones using CT scan images before treatment. It may help improve planning for procedures like shockwave therapy, scope procedures, or surgery.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan that measures kidney stiffness can predict how well a child's kidney will work after surgery to fix a ureter blockage. The goal is to help doctors know which children might recover better kidney function after the procedure.
This study compares three different ways of placing a small tube called a stent in the ureter after stone-removal surgery. The goal is to find the best method to reduce discomfort and improve recovery.
This trial tests a new smart scope that automatically controls pressure and temperature during stone removal surgery. It aims to make the procedure safer for people who have a kidney stone and a urinary tract infection.
This study looks at whether a flexible ureteroscopy (a procedure that uses a thin, bendable tube to view and remove kidney stones) is successful at clearing stones in the kidney or upper ureter. It aims to find factors that predict success, which could help doctors better plan treatment for future patients.
