Bladder Stone Removal Methods in Catheterizable Reservoirs
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares different surgical techniques used to remove bladder stones from patients who have a specially created urinary pouch (reservoir) that requires catheterization. Researchers will review outcomes from procedures performed between 2015 and 2024 to determine which approach works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a catheterizable continent urinary reservoir (a surgically created pouch for urine drainage)
- You had bladder stone removal surgery between January 2015 and December 2024
- Your surgery was performed using one of these methods: open incision, percutaneous (needle), flexible scope through the stoma, or laser through the stoma
- You are willing to participate and have not objected to the research
- It has been at least 1 month since your stone removal procedure (or your case was critical)

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 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 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.
This study compares three different approaches to placing a temporary tube (stent) in your ureter after surgery to break up and remove kidney stones. The goal is to find which stenting method works best for your recovery.
This study looks at how well a new device that suctions out kidney stone fragments works compared to usual methods. It may help people who need a procedure to break up or remove kidney stones.
This trial compares two types of flexible ureteroscopy (a kidney stone removal procedure) for stones 1-3 cm. One uses a special sheath that can also suction out stone fragments; the other uses a standard sheath. The goal is to see which is more effective at removing all stone pieces.
