Should you get a stent before kidney stone surgery with a tiny scope?
In adults with 10–20 mm unilateral kidney stones, this study tests whether doing a retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) after a planned preoperative ureteral stent is better than doing RIRS directly without a stent.
-
Suction to collapse the kidney's collecting system after RIRS (retrograde intrarenal surgery)
This trial will test whether actively suctioning the kidney's collecting system at the end of RIRS reduces early postoperative pain and infections for adults having kidney stone removal.
-
Comparing three single-use flexible ureteroscopes for treating kidney stones
This compares three single-use flexible ureteroscopes to see which gives the best results for adults aged 18–60 with kidney stones smaller than 20 mm.
-
Managing staghorn kidney stones with retrograde intrarenal surgery
This tests whether a new bendable, suction-enabled ureteral access sheath works better than a standard sheath during retrograde intrarenal surgery for adults with staghorn kidney stones.
-
Shock wave treatment versus flexible ureteroscopy for a single 1–2 cm kidney stone
This research will test whether shock waves from outside the body (ESWL) or a flexible scope with laser (RIRS) works better for adults 18–65 who have a single 1–2 cm kidney stone.
-
Burst wave lithotripsy used during ureteroscopy to break kidney or ureter stones
This study tests a new ultrasound method called burst wave lithotripsy to try to break kidney or ureter stones during ureteroscopy in adults scheduled for stone removal.
-
Break Wave extracorporeal lithotripsy to break kidney stones
This trial will try the Break Wave machine to break upper urinary tract stones up to 20 mm (10 mm in the lower pole) in adults as an outpatient procedure.
