Effect of anesthesia type on surgeon workload in kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two types of anesthesia to see which one makes it easier for the surgeon to perform a common kidney stone removal procedure. The goal is to find the best anesthesia approach that could improve surgery outcomes and patient experience.

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 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 types of anesthesia (general gas anesthesia vs. a spinal-plus-epidural method) during living-donor kidney transplants to see how they affect certain body signals related to cell health and aging. If you are having a kidney transplant from a living donor and are in good overall health, this trial could help doctors learn which anesthesia may be better for you.
This trial compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (numbing the lower body) versus general (being fully asleep)—for people having a specific kidney stone removal procedure lying on their back. The goal is to see which one works better and has fewer side effects.
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 different nerve block techniques to see which provides better pain relief after surgery to remove kidney stones. It aims to help patients experience less pain and need fewer pain medications afterward.
