NCT ID NCT07580963
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares custom-length ureteral stents (based on each person's imaging) to standard one-size-fits-all stents in 128 adults having kidney stone surgery. The goal is to see if the custom stents reduce pain, urinary issues, and other symptoms. Participants will fill out a questionnaire about their quality of life after stent placement.
