Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older suffering from kidney stones or tumors of the upper excretory tract.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 18 years old or those with mental or physical disabilities that hinder their ability to participate will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study collects clinical data from patients suffering from nephrolithiasis who undergo minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. It aims to correlate phenotypic and genotypic aspects of patients with their stone pathology, assessing the effectiveness of the endoscopic approach in treating kidney stones while minimizing operative complications. Data will be gathered before and after surgery, including details about the stones and surgical instruments used, to enhance therapeutic strategies and reduce recurrence risks through genetic analysis.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment strategies for kidney stones and a reduction in recurrence rates.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with similar endoscopic approaches for treating kidney stones, indicating a promising avenue for this research.
