This study looks at why some people develop fever or a serious infection after a procedure to remove kidney stones. It aims to find risk factors so doctors can better 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 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 study looks at how safe and effective a minimally invasive procedure called RIRS (using a flexible scope to break up and remove stones) is when done under local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. If you have a kidney or upper ureteral stone, this may help you avoid general anesthesia and recover faster.
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.
This trial compares two different tubes used during surgery to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see if one type works better than the other for clearing stones safely.
