New study pits two kidney stone surgeries Head-to-Head
NCT ID NCT07322471
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgical methods for removing large staghorn kidney stones: flexible ureteroscopy (FURS) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). PCNL is the standard but can cause serious complications; FURS is less invasive but may need multiple sessions. The trial will enroll 138 adults to see which approach clears stones better with fewer side effects.
