This trial compares two types of disposable flexible ureteroscopes to see which works better for removing kidney stones in children. If your child has a single kidney stone or multiple stones that add up to less than 20 mm, this study may help guide better treatment.
This study compares two methods used during surgery to remove kidney stones. It will see if a new device is as safe and effective as the standard one for breaking up and removing stones.
This study looks for better ways to predict when kidney stones may come back and what complications might happen. It may help doctors personalize follow-up and prevention plans based on information collected from you.
This study looks at whether a CT scan before surgery can help predict if a ureteroscopy procedure for kidney stones might need to be changed during the operation. It aims to help doctors plan better and reduce risks.
This study looks at how your body’s position during surgery affects how well kidney stones are cleared. If you have stones ≤2 cm and are having a scope-based kidney stone removal, you may be able to join.
This study looks for “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs in samples like urine or blood, to help understand and detect recurring urinary stone disease. It may help future patients by improving how doctors predict stone recurrence or identify stone types.
