Summary
This study tested a new way to remove kidney stone fragments after laser treatment, using a suction device called CVAC instead of the usual basket. About 132 adults with kidney stones took part. The goal was to see if the suction method leaves fewer stone pieces behind, which could mean fewer repeat procedures.
