Balloon vs. tube: which catheter keeps kidney stone fragments in place?
NCT ID NCT06798753
Summary
This study compared two types of catheters used during a common kidney stone surgery called PCNL. Researchers wanted to see if a special balloon catheter was better than a standard tube catheter at preventing tiny stone fragments from escaping into the ureter during surgery. The trial involved 108 adults having surgery while lying on their backs.
