Gut Microbiome and Sex as Risk Factors for Kidney Stones After Bariatric Surgery
This is a single-center study that aims to better understand how diet and sex affect the risk of kidney stones in people who have had gastric bypass surgery. Subjects will be asked to follow a special (clinic-provided) diet for six days and come to a research clinic for 3 study …
Evaluation of Retrograde Intra Renal Surgery in the T-tilted Position
To evaluate the effect of the T-tilted position on the stone-free rate compared to the standard lithotomy position in retrograde intrarenal surgeries. Common positions include the Trendelenburg position, where the patient is tilted head-down to help gravity move stones from the upper calyces to the renal pelvis, and the modified …
Homework in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery
To evaluate the effectiveness of this homework on stone clearance rates after retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) by instructing the patient in the home environment and suggesting percussion and movement/position changes to assist in spontaneous stone passage.
Effectiveness of Self-posturotherapy on the Elimination of Residual Fragments After Treatment of Lower Calyx Urinary Stones by Extracorporeal Lithotripsy or Retrograde Flexible Ureteroscopy.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an auto posturotherapy technique on the RFS at three months of patients treated for lower calyceal urinary stones by extracorporeal lithotripsy (ECL) or retrograde flexible ureteroscopy.
Impact of Surgical Position on Stone-Free Rates in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether the surgical position during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) affects stone-free rates in adults with kidney stones. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the modified lithotomy position result in a higher stone-free rate compared to the standard lithotomy …
Three Dimensional Virtual Reconstruction (3D) in Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of 3D imaging technique on the PCNL learning curve in specialist training.
Hydroxycitrate: A Novel Therapy for Calcium Phosphate Urinary Stones
This study tests whether hydroxycitrate, a molecule closely related to citrate, can reduce calcium phosphate stone recurrence.
Effect of Preoperative Silodosin on Feasibility of Ureteral Access Sheath Insertion
The ureteral access sheath (UAS) is an ancillary device widely used by urologists to facilitate fast, repeatable, and safe access to ureters and collecting systems; improve visibility; reduce the risk of infection by reducing intrarenal pressure; and protect ureters and scopes when extracting multiple stones during surgery. Insertion of ureteric …
Prediction of Recurrence and Complications of Nephrolithiasis Using a Precision Medicine Approach
Nephrolithiasis is a disease caused by the formation of kidney stones in the urinary tract which can then partially or completely obstruct the latter causing an extremely sharp pain called renal colic. In industrialized countries, it affects 10 to 20% of the population, and is the most common kidney disease.The …
Flexible Ureteroscopy With a Flexible and Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath Versus Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy for 1-2 cm Lower Pole Kidney Stones
This study, known as the FLAME Trial (Flexible ureteroscopy for Lower pole stones And Mini-pErcutaneous nephrolithotomy), is an international, multicenter, randomized, non-inferiority trial. It aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of flexible ureteroscopy using a flexible and navigable suction ureteral access sheath (FANS) versus mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) in the …
