Two ways to remove painful kidney stones: which works better?

NCT ID NCT07197385

Summary

This study compared two common minimally invasive surgeries for removing larger kidney stones stuck in the upper ureter. 56 adult patients with a single stone were randomly assigned to either a scope procedure that breaks the stone from inside or a keyhole surgery that removes it through small abdominal cuts. Researchers measured which method resulted in shorter surgery time, less pain, fewer complications, and better stone clearance.
