NCT ID NCT07289230
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested three different methods for removing kidney stones up to 2 centimeters in size. All methods use a flexible scope through the urinary tract, but one uses a traditional tube, another uses a tube with suction, and the third uses no tube at all. Researchers measured how well each method cleared stones, how long surgery took, and any complications. The goal is to find the safest and most effective approach for patients.
