Breathing methods to reduce kidney movement during stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of breathing during kidney stone surgery to reduce kidney movement, which may make the surgery more precise. It could help patients have a smoother procedure and better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares how lying on your stomach versus your back during kidney stone removal affects blood flow and heart function. It may help doctors choose the safest position for you.
This trial tests if using negative pressure suction during ureteroscopy can reduce fluid absorption and infections. It may help people undergoing kidney stone surgery.
This study tests a technique during kidney stone removal surgery (RIRS) where the surgeon fully drains the kidney system at the end of the procedure. Researchers want to see if this approach improves how quickly patients recover and reduces complications.
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 looks at whether lying on your stomach or on your back during kidney stone removal surgery affects the chance of minor heart damage. If you're having this surgery and don't have known heart problems, you may qualify to help doctors learn the safest position.
This study compares a newer device that uses suction to remove kidney stones during surgery to other standard methods. It aims to see which technique clears stones more completely and safely, which could help you recover with fewer remaining stone fragments.
