Kidney imaging study after minimally invasive stone removal
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study examines whether a type of ultrasound can safely detect minor kidney injury after a minimally invasive procedure to remove kidney stones. It may help doctors better monitor kidney health during and after stone treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have kidney stones smaller than 20 mm (about the size of a small bean) that need removal
- You are having a minimally invasive procedure called RIRS to remove your kidney stones
- Your urine culture test is negative (no infection found)
- You do not have an active urinary tract infection
- You have not had previous kidney stone surgery (PCNL or open surgery)

This study looks at the use of a ureteral access sheath (a tube that helps the surgeon reach the kidney) in people who already have a ureteral stent (a small tube placed in the ureter) and are having a stone removal procedure called ureteroscopy. It aims to find out if using this sheath is helpful for treating stones in the kidney or ureter.
This trial tests different types of tubes (called ureteral access sheaths) used during a minimally invasive kidney stone removal procedure called RIRS. The goal is to see which type works best and causes the least damage to your ureter (the tube that carries urine from your kidney).
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 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.
This study is checking the long-term safety of two different ways of doing a kidney stone scope procedure (one uses a small tube to guide the scope, the other does not). If you had this procedure for a kidney stone (up to 20 mm) and it's been at least a year, they want to follow up with you to see how you're doing.
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.
