Summary
This study compares two laser methods for breaking up kidney and ureteral stones during surgery. One method uses standard laser pulses, the other uses a newer 'Moses 2.0' pulse mode. Researchers want to see if the newer mode reduces surgery time and improves stone clearance. About 150 adults with stones 8-20 mm will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Holmium:YAG laser with Moses 2.0 pulse modulation
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that Moses 2.0 technology shortens surgery and laser time for kidney stone removal, leading to faster recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage comparison of an already approved device. The difference between techniques may be small, and results may not apply to all stone types or sizes.
