This study is tracking 238 adults who are already scheduled to have a procedure for kidney stones or an enlarged prostate (BPH) using Boston Scientific devices. The main goal is to see how often serious side effects happen with these tools in real-world use. Researchers will also…

This study looks at whether adding a small drainage tube in the belly during surgery for large bladder stones (over 2 cm) can make the operation faster and easier. About 140 adults will be randomly assigned to get the standard procedure alone or with the extra tube. The main goal…

This study compares two surgical techniques for removing bladder stones in children aged 2 to 14 years. One method uses a small cut in the belly area with a vacuum to remove stone fragments, while the other uses a scope through the urethra. The goal is to see which approach is fa…

This study compares two ways to use a laser to break up bladder stones in children: dusting (turning stones into fine dust) and fragmentation (breaking them into small pieces for removal). About 110 children with a single stone smaller than 3 cm will be randomly assigned to one m…

This study tests whether letting a bladder catheter fall out on its own (passive removal) is better than having a nurse pull it out (active removal) after urological surgery. 160 men will be randomly assigned to one method. Researchers will measure satisfaction, pain, and anxiety…

This study tests a new method to help patients understand complex spine or prostate surgeries before they agree to them. Instead of just reading a form, patients watch multimedia content and answer questions to check their understanding. The goal is to see if this approach makes …

This study looks at how well three AI models—ChatGPT, Gemini, and Deepseek—can diagnose and suggest treatments for urology diseases. Researchers will use 800 past patient records from four hospitals to check the AI's accuracy and usefulness. The goal is to understand if AI can he…
