Comparing breathing methods to reduce kidney movement during surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests two different ventilator settings during kidney stone surgery to see which one keeps the kidney more still, which may help the surgeon work more precisely.

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 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 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 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 trial compares two different surgical techniques for removing kidney stones that are medium to large in size (8-20 mm). The study aims to determine which method works better and may help improve how doctors treat kidney stones in the future.
