A simple pressure check during kidney stone surgery may cut infection risk in children
NCT ID NCT07800546
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether monitoring pressure inside the kidney during a procedure called percutaneous nephrolithotomy, used to remove kidney stones in children, can lower the chance of post-operative infections. Researchers will enroll 80 children under 18 who need this surgery. The goal is to see if real-time pressure tracking helps prevent infectious complications after the operation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Intrarenal pressure monitoring during pediatric percutaneous nephrolithotomy
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a simple monitoring technique that lowers infection risk after pediatric kidney stone surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 80 children, so results may not apply broadly. The monitoring itself may not change infection rates, and the procedure carries standard surgical risks.
