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.

Active substance

mirabegron

What this could lead to

If it works, this could make kidney stone surgery easier and safer by relaxing the ureter, potentially reducing complications.

What could go wrong

This is a small, retrospective study, not a controlled trial. Results may not apply to everyone, and mirabegron's effect on surgery success is still uncertain.
