One-and-Done stone surgery could spare kidney patients a second procedure
NCT ID NCT07177313

Summary
This study looks at whether it is safe to remove kidney stones right away in people whose kidneys are not working well due to the blockage. Normally, doctors place a temporary tube first to protect the kidney, but this adds extra procedures and visits. The trial will enroll 60 adults with a single blocked ureter and reduced kidney function, and will check for complications and how well the stone is cleared. If it works, patients could get faster relief and avoid a second surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ureteroscopy (a minimally invasive procedure to remove stones from the ureter)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that immediate stone removal is safe for patients with reduced kidney function, allowing faster relief and fewer procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 60 participants and no randomization, so results may not apply broadly. Risks include infection, bleeding, or injury from the procedure.
