NCT ID NCT07328659
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new technique to hold kidney stones in place during a minimally invasive surgery called mini-PCNL. The goal was to make the stone-breaking step faster and reduce leftover fragments. 45 adults with stones smaller than 4 cm took part. The study measured how long the stone-breaking took and checked for any complications.
