New study aims to take the guesswork out of kidney stone laser surgery
NCT ID NCT07566741
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked at 61 adults with kidney stones to see if stone size and density could predict how much laser energy is needed during a procedure called thulium fiber laser lithotripsy. Researchers used CT scans before surgery to measure stone volume and density, then tracked the actual energy used during the operation. The goal is to create a formula that helps surgeons plan more precisely, potentially reducing surgery time and risks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
thulium fiber laser lithotripsy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help surgeons predict the laser energy needed for kidney stone removal, potentially making procedures more efficient and reducing complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed observational study with 61 patients. The findings may not apply to all stone types or surgical settings, and the derived energy coefficient needs validation in larger trials.
