Using 3D imaging to improve kidney stone surgery training

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the impact of a three-dimensional imaging technique on the learning curve for percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), a surgical procedure for removing kidney stones. By utilizing advanced 3D imaging, the study aims to enhance the training of specialists in performing this procedure more effectively. The research focuses on patients with kidney stones larger than 2 cm who are indicated for PCNL, assessing how this technology can facilitate better surgical outcomes and training efficiency.
