Which keyhole surgery clears Kids' kidney stones best?
NCT ID NCT07763743
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two minimally invasive surgeries for removing kidney stones (1–2.5 cm) in children. One method uses a flexible scope with a suction tube; the other uses a tiny incision with a vacuum-assisted sheath. The goal is to see which approach clears more stones after one month and which is safer, with fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Two surgical procedures: flexible ureteroscopy with a suction sheath and mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy with a vacuum-assisted sheath
- What this could lead to
- If one procedure proves better, it could lead to safer, more effective treatment for kidney stones in children, with higher stone clearance and fewer complications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center study with a modest number of participants, so results may not apply broadly. Both procedures carry risks like bleeding, infection, or injury, and the comparison may not show a clear winner.
