This trial tests if using a special suction tube during surgery to remove kidney stones can lower the risk of infection. It is for people with small to medium-sized stones in the kidney or upper ureter.
This trial compares two ways of removing kidney stones from the lower part of the kidney using a thin tube that goes through your urinary tract. One method uses a new suction device to help pull stone pieces out during the procedure, and the other uses suction from above. The goal is to see which method is safer and more effective for people with stones in the lower kidney.
This trial tests a supplement called Neorenal Forte to help clear tiny leftover kidney stone pieces after laser surgery. If you have small fragments left after your procedure, this study may help you get rid of them.
This trial compares two ways of removing kidney stones during a procedure called flexible ureteroscopy. One method uses a special sheath that helps suction out stone fragments, which may improve stone removal and recovery.
This trial is testing whether changing the amount of water and suction used during a standard kidney stone surgery can help clear stones better and more safely. If you have a moderate-sized kidney stone, your doctors will use one of two water flow settings during the procedure to see which works best.
This study tests whether numbing medicine placed directly into the bladder can reduce pain after a ureteroscopy procedure for kidney stones. It may help you feel better and use less pain medication after surgery.
