Comparing bladder stone removal methods for continent urinary reservoirs
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares different ways to remove bladder stones in people who have a continent urinary reservoir (a surgically created pouch inside the body that holds urine). The goal is to find which method works best and has the fewest complications.

This study compares two ways to remove bladder stones without open surgery. Both methods use a small camera and tools inserted through the body (either through the urethra or through a tiny skin opening), and the goal is to see which is safer and more effective for adults.
This study compares two minimally invasive surgical techniques to remove bladder stones in children ages 2–14. Both approaches aim to break up and remove stones with less recovery time than traditional open surgery.
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 study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: one uses a special scope to see and break up stones with a laser, and the other is a newer method. If you have stones up to 3 centimeters, this trial might help your doctor choose the safest and most effective approach.
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.
This study compares a newer device that uses suction to remove kidney stones during surgery to other standard methods. It aims to see which technique clears stones more completely and safely, which could help you recover with fewer remaining stone fragments.
