Comparing stent placement methods after ureter stone removal
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have a stone in the kidney or ureter on one side (not both), and the stone is about 2 centimeters or smaller.
- You are scheduled for a procedure called ureteroscopy to break up the stone.
- You do not already have a stent in place.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have a severe infection, bleeding disorder, or other major health condition.

This study compares four types of ureteral stents to see which causes the fewest side effects after kidney stone treatment. If you have a stent placed after stone surgery, your symptoms will be tracked to help find the best option.
This trial studies whether some people can avoid getting a ureteral stent after ureteroscopy and lithotripsy for a kidney stone. It may help reduce stent-related discomfort while still keeping outcomes safe for the stone problem.
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 ways to remove kidney stones: mini-PCNL (a small incision in your back) versus flexible ureteroscopy with a suction sheath (a tube through the urinary tract). It aims to find which method works better and is safer for stones of this size.
This trial is looking at whether placing a small tube (stent) in the ureter before a type of keyhole surgery for kidney stones helps with outcomes like pain and success of the procedure. It aims to see if this pre-treatment makes the surgery easier, potentially reducing complications and improving stone removal.
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.
