New study tests suction tools to make kidney stone surgery safer
NCT ID NCT07516535
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two suction-assisted techniques used during minimally invasive kidney stone surgery. The goal is to see which method better clears stones and lowers the risk of infection. About 126 adults with medium-sized kidney stones (2-3 cm) will be randomly assigned to one of the two techniques. The results could help surgeons choose the best approach for future patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Suction-assisted surgical techniques (Direct In-Scope Suction and Flexible and Navigable Suction Ureteric Access Sheath)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show which suction method is safer and more effective for removing medium-sized kidney stones, potentially reducing infections and the need for repeat procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 126 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both techniques are still being tested, and there is no guarantee one will be clearly better.
