Summary

This study tests two different ways of positioning patients during surgery for stones in the upper part of the ureter. One position uses a slight head-down tilt to keep stones from moving back into the kidney, while the other tilts the patient to help clear stones from the kidney. The goal is to see which approach leads to a shorter operation and better stone removal. About 54 adults with kidney stones will take part.
