Laser showdown: which Stone-Busting technique is best for kids?
NCT ID NCT07623980
First seen Jun 08, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to use a laser to break up bladder stones in children: dusting (turning stones into fine powder) 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 method. The main goal is to see which technique is faster overall, while also checking safety, recovery, and how completely stones are cleared.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could identify the quicker and safer laser method for treating bladder stones in children, improving surgical outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 110 children, so results may not apply to all cases. Both techniques are already used, so no major breakthrough is expected.
