NCT ID NCT07072598

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two common surgeries for removing kidney stones: mini-PCNL (a small incision in the back) and flexible ureteroscopy with a special suction tube. About 80 adults with kidney stones between 1 and 3 cm will be randomly assigned to one procedure. The main goal is to see which method leaves fewer stone pieces behind, based on a CT scan after surgery.
