Anesthesia type during kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia during endoscopic kidney stone surgery to see which one helps the surgeon work more comfortably. It might help improve the procedure for patients like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) ureteroscopy procedure to treat kidney stones.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are not having any other major surgery during the same session.
- You do not have any birth defects or major structural abnormalities of the kidney that could affect the procedure.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study compares two ways of positioning patients during surgery to remove large kidney stones. It aims to find which position is safer and more effective for people with stones larger than 2 cm.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (numbing from the waist down) and general (fully asleep)—for a kidney stone surgery done while lying on your back. The goal is to see if one method is safer or more comfortable for the patient.
This study tests a completely opioid-free anesthesia method for kidney stone surgery. The goal is to see if it provides good pain control without the side effects of opioids like nausea or sedation.
This study looks at how safe and effective a minimally invasive procedure called RIRS (using a flexible scope to break up and remove stones) is when done under local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia. If you have a kidney or upper ureteral stone, this may help you avoid general anesthesia and recover faster.
