Common bladder drug may ease kidney stone surgery
NCT ID NCT07566416
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 131 people having surgery for kidney stones. Some were already taking mirabegron for overactive bladder, which relaxes the ureter. Researchers wanted to see if this helped surgeons insert a tube more easily and caused less injury. The idea is that a relaxed ureter might make the procedure smoother.
