Adjusting water flow for kidney stone surgery
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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 trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries for removing kidney stones that are 2–3 cm in size. One uses a special vacuum to help clear stone fragments, and the other uses suction. Both are done through a small tube in the back, and the goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective.
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 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 during a procedure called ureterorenoscopy (a tube with a camera is used to reach and remove the stone). The aim is to see if using suction during the procedure helps remove stones more effectively than the standard method.
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 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.
