Overview
Goal of this trial:
To test a new tool called the Xinwell Scope in adults (aged 18-80) with 1-3 cm kidney or ureter stones. We want to see:
- If it's safe and works well
- If its built-in features (flushing/suction, pressure control, and stone-breaking/removal) help clear stones better while keeping surgery safe.
Main questions:
- Can the Xinwell Scope clear stones successfully (with fragments <4 mm left) for at least 9 out of every 10 people within 24 hours after surgery?
- Will serious problems (like severe infections or ureteral injuries) happen to no more than 1 in 20 people (5%)?
- Can the device keep pressure inside the kidney below 30 mmHg (a safe level) during the entire surgery?
What participants will do:
Have stone removal surgery using the Xinwell Scope (breaks and removes stones at the same time).
Get a CT scan within 24 hours after surgery to check if stones are cleared.
Return 4 weeks (±1 week) after surgery for:
An imaging test (CT or ultrasound)
A check for any health problems related to the surgery.
