Can medical glue replace the drainage tube in kidney stone surgery?
NCT ID NCT07749807
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two ways of finishing kidney stone removal surgery. In one, a medical glue called Glubran 2 is sprayed into the access tract to seal it, avoiding the need for a drainage tube. In the other, a standard tube is placed. The study aims to see if the glue technique reduces pain, bleeding, and hospital stay while still clearing the stones effectively.

- Active substance
- Nebulized Glubran 2 (a medical glue) used to seal the access tract after kidney stone removal
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this technique could make kidney stone surgery less painful and shorten hospital stays by avoiding a drainage tube.
