New formula could predict laser power needed for kidney stone surgery

NCT ID NCT07566741

First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This study enrolled 61 adults with kidney stones who were treated with a special laser (Thulium Fiber Laser) during a scope procedure. Researchers used CT scans before surgery to measure stone size, number, and hardness. They then analyzed how much laser energy was actually used to break the stones, aiming to create a formula that predicts energy needs beforehand. The goal is to help surgeons plan more efficiently, but this study does not test a new treatment or cure.
