Can medical glue replace the drainage tube in kidney stone surgery?
NCT ID NCT07749807
First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two ways of finishing kidney stone removal surgery. In one, a medical glue called Glubran 2 is sprayed into the access tract to seal it, avoiding the need for a drainage tube. In the other, a standard tube is placed. The study aims to see if the glue technique reduces pain, bleeding, and hospital stay while still clearing the stones effectively.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Nebulized Glubran 2 (a medical glue) used to seal the access tract after kidney stone removal
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this technique could make kidney stone surgery less painful and shorten hospital stays by avoiding a drainage tube.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, and the glue might not seal as well as expected, leading to complications like urine leakage or bleeding.
