Urgent urine drainage before kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at patients who have kidney stones and a urinary tract infection that spreads to the blood. It compares two ways to drain urine urgently before the main stone removal surgery, to see which leads to better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a kidney stone or a stone in the upper part of the tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder.
- You had a urinary tract infection that spread to your blood because the stone blocked urine flow.
- You had emergency drainage of urine using either a small tube placed through the bladder (called a stent) or a tube placed directly into the kidney through the back (called a nephrostomy).
- You are scheduled to have the stone removed with a surgery called PCNL (percutaneous nephrolithotomy) after your infection is under control.
- You are not pregnant, do not have bleeding problems, and do not have other serious health issues that would make surgery unsafe.

This study looks at whether placing a temporary tube (called a stent) in the ureter after kidney stone surgery is always necessary. Some patients get a stent to help urine flow, but it can cause discomfort. The trial aims to see if skipping the stent is safe and leads to fewer symptoms. If you are having kidney stone surgery, participating might help determine the best approach for recovery.
This study looks at a blood test done before percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), a procedure to remove kidney stones. The goal is to see whether results can predict who is more likely to develop infections or strong whole-body inflammation after surgery.
This study compares two ways to drain urine when a kidney stone completely blocks the ureter (the tube from kidney to bladder) in patients with only one working kidney. After your kidney recovers, doctors will remove the stone using a minimally invasive camera procedure.
This trial is looking at whether placing a small tube (stent) in the ureter before a type of keyhole surgery for kidney stones helps with outcomes like pain and success of the procedure. It aims to see if this pre-treatment makes the surgery easier, potentially reducing complications and improving stone removal.
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: mini-PCNL (a small incision in your back) versus flexible ureteroscopy with a suction sheath (a tube through the urinary tract). It aims to find which method works better and is safer for stones of this size.
This trial tests whether using a thin scope to remove a kidney stone right away is safe and effective for people with a sudden blockage in one kidney that has caused kidney function to drop. It aims to see if immediate stone removal can improve kidney function without needing a temporary drainage tube first.
