Kidney stone removal with a breathing sensor
This trial tests a sensor that helps surgeons remove kidney stones while you're asleep, potentially reducing the need to pause your breathing during surgery. It aims to make the procedure safer and faster for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a single kidney stone between 7 and 15 mm in size.
- The stone is in your kidney (not in the tube leading to the bladder).
- You are scheduled for a kidney stone removal procedure called RIRS (using a flexible scope through your urinary tract).
- You are healthy enough for general anesthesia and can have a CT scan one month after surgery.
- You do not have an active urinary tract infection or other serious health conditions.

This trial tests a robot-assisted telescope-guided procedure to break up kidney stones. It may be an option if you have a kidney stone smaller than about 1.6 cm and are already scheduled for a ureteroscopy (RIRS).
This study compares different ways of breathing during kidney stone surgery to reduce kidney movement, which may make the surgery more precise. It could help patients have a smoother procedure and better outcomes.
This study tests a technique during kidney stone removal surgery (RIRS) where the surgeon fully drains the kidney system at the end of the procedure. Researchers want to see if this approach improves how quickly patients recover and reduces complications.
This study tests a new device that removes kidney stones using suction and a camera together. It aims to make the procedure more efficient and possibly reduce the need for multiple surgeries.
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 negative pressure suction during ureteroscopy can reduce fluid absorption and infections. It may help people undergoing kidney stone surgery.
