Prospective Evaluation of the LithoVue Elite Ureteroscope
Flexible ureteroscopy has become the main surgical treatment for kidney stone disease. The procedure uses many types of ureteroscopes (disposable and non-disposable). Currently we are using the LithoVue Single-Use Digital Flexible Ureteroscope. The Health Canada approved LithoVue Elite disposable flexible ureteroscope will now offer novel pressure sensory capacity. In order …

This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of both types of lasers, Holmium MOSES and TFL, in management of kidney stones requiring treatment.
Thulium Fiber Laser Prospective Trial
This is a multi-center, prospective clinical trial to assess the effect of TFL for the lithotripsy of kidney stones.
Comparison of the Efficacy of Flexible Ureteroscope and Percutaneous Nephroscopic Surgery in the Treatment of 2-4cm Kidney Stones
Urolithiasis is a common disease in urology. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the treatment of kidney lithiasis has undergone revolutionary changes, and the previously commonly used open surgical lithotomy method has been gradually eliminated, and replaced with less traumatic treatment methods. Percutaneous nephroscopy can theoretically treat the …
Effect of a DASH-Style Diet on Urinary Risk Factors for Kidney Stone Disease
The true capacity for a healthy diet to improve urinary stone risk factors is not well-defined. The objective of this study is to measure the effect of adopting a healthy dietary pattern on kidney stone disease (KSD) risk. The working hypothesis is that a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-style …
Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Kidney Stone Patients
The purpose of this study is to measure the impact of Microbial Transplant Therapy (MTT) on 24-hour urine parameters in recurrent hypercalciuric and hyperoxaluric kidney stone formers.
Evaluation of Eye Gaze Sharing in the Operating Room
This project aims to develop an augmented reality (AR) tool to enhance skill acquisition for endoscopic kidney stone surgery. Of the 100,000 patients who undergo an endoscopic kidney stone treatment annually in the United States, 25% will require a repeat stone surgery within 20 months of their index surgery. The …
Steerable vs Conventional FANS for <2cm Lower Pole Stone Treatment: SCULPT Trial
This multicenter, randomized, controlled superiority trial (the SCULPT trial) aims to compare the efficacy and safety of a novel steerable flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS) versus the conventional FANS in the treatment of lower pole renal stones ≤2 cm. Lower pole stones are particularly challenging due to …
