Can a simple tool predict who will be Stone-Free after kidney surgery?
NCT ID NCT07753096
First seen Aug 07, 2026 ยท Last updated Aug 07, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a scoring tool called a nomogram can accurately predict if a patient will be completely stone-free after a minimally invasive kidney stone surgery called flexible ureterorenoscopy. Researchers will compare the nomogram's predictions with actual surgical outcomes in 70 adult patients scheduled for this procedure. The goal is to see if this tool can help doctors personalize treatment plans and better inform patients about their expected results.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the nomogram proves accurate, it could help doctors predict a patient's chance of being stone-free after surgery, guiding treatment decisions and patient counseling.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The nomogram may not be accurate enough for widespread use, and results may not apply to all patient groups.
