This study looks at whether certain factors increase the chance of fever or serious infection after a type of kidney stone surgery called retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). The goal is to help doctors better understand and prevent these complications.
This trial tests if using a special suction tube during surgery to remove kidney stones can lower the risk of infection. It is for people with small to medium-sized stones in the kidney or upper ureter.
This trial tests if a special rinse during kidney stone surgery can reduce infections in the kidney. It's for adults having a type of surgery called PCNL (where a small tube is placed into the kidney to break up stones) and who have stones caused by an infection.
This study looks at how well a procedure called RIRS (a type of keyhole surgery to remove kidney stones using a small camera) works when done with only local anesthesia (numbing medicine) instead of general anesthesia. It may be a good option if you have a 1-4 cm stone in your kidney or upper ureter and are in generally good health.
This study checks if taking a urine culture two weeks before kidney stone surgery affects outcomes. It may help ensure your surgery goes smoothly by confirming your urine is free of infection.
This trial compares a vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath to a standard one during kidney stone surgery (retrograde intrarenal surgery). The goal is to see which might work better and be safer for patients.
