Comparing two surgeries for kidney stones in children
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two types of surgery for removing kidney stones in children. It aims to see which method works better and is safer for stones up to 2 cm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 18 years old.
- The kidney stone is 2 cm or smaller (about the size of a pea or a small grape).
- The stone is in the kidney's main drainage area (pelvis) or one of its branches (calyces).
- Your child's kidneys work normally, based on blood tests.
- Your child has not had any surgery for this stone before.

This trial compares two different surgeries for removing a single kidney stone that is 2 to 3 centimeters in size. One method uses a flexible scope with a suction tube, and the other uses a small incision in the back. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
This study compares two types of surgery (mini PCNL and flexible ureteroscopy) to remove kidney stones in children. The goal is to find out which approach works better and causes fewer side effects.
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to remove small-to-medium kidney stones (1 to 2.5 cm). The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective, possibly leading to quicker recovery and fewer side effects.
This study compares two different surgical techniques—FANS and DISS—to treat kidney stones larger than 2 centimeters in children under 18. The goal is to see which method works better, causes fewer complications, and helps children recover faster.
This trial compares two types of surgery for removing large, branching kidney stones called staghorn stones. It will help determine which method is safer and more effective.
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.
