Can suction make kidney stone surgery safer?
NCT ID NCT07492147
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using a special suction device during kidney stone surgery can reduce how much irrigation fluid gets absorbed into the body and lower the risk of infections. Researchers will compare 400 adults who have surgery with or without the suction sheath. The goal is to see if this simple change can make the procedure safer.
