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 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 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.
This trial compares two methods to remove kidney stones that are 2-4 cm in size: one uses a thin tube through a small cut in your back (VISOR), and the other uses a larger cut (PCNL). The goal is to see which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways to remove large staghorn kidney stones: one uses a thin scope through the urinary tract, the other uses a small cut in the back to reach the kidney directly. The goal is to see which method is safer and works better for patients.
