Summary

This study tests a new way to treat kidney stones using ultrasound waves to break them into tiny pieces and help them move out of the body. The procedure does not require anesthesia and aims to make passing stones easier and safer. About 140 adults with small kidney stones will take part to see if the method works and is safe.
