Comparing two tools for kidney stone surgery in children
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of ureteral access sheaths used during flexible ureterorenoscopy, a minimally invasive procedure to remove kidney stones smaller than 2 cm in children. The goal is to see which tool works better and is safer for your child.
