Suprapubic Drainage During Bladder Stone Removal Surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a temporary drainage tube placed above the pubic bone during bladder stone removal surgery improves outcomes. You would be considered if you have a large bladder stone (over 2 cm) and are scheduled for minimally invasive surgery to break it up and remove it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Bladder stone larger than 2 cm, confirmed by imaging (CT, ultrasound, or X-ray)

- Urine culture is sterile or any urinary tract infection is treated and cleared
- Able to safely receive spinal or general anesthesia

This trial tests whether removing bladder stones together with prostate surgery improves outcomes for men with an enlarged prostate and bladder stones. It aims to see if doing both at once is better than just removing the stones.
This trial compares two laser methods to break up bladder stones in children. Both approaches use a thin camera inserted through the urethra (the tube that carries urine), and the study aims to find which method works better and causes fewer complications.
This study looks at patients who have kidney stones and a urinary tract infection that spreads to the blood. It compares two ways to drain urine urgently before the main stone removal surgery, to see which leads to better outcomes.
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 ways to drain urine when a kidney stone completely blocks the ureter (the tube from kidney to bladder) in patients with only one working kidney. After your kidney recovers, doctors will remove the stone using a minimally invasive camera procedure.
This trial tests a new device that combines a laser with a special suction sheath to remove kidney stones during a standard procedure. It aims to make stone removal more effective by using suction to pull out smaller fragments.
