Intravesical Bupivacaine on Post-Operative Ureteroscopy Pain
Post-operative pain and lower urinary tract symptoms are common following ureteroscopy in the treatment of stone disease. The use of bupivacaine as a topical pain medication is used routinely for other urologic procedures, however, to date there are no studies that have rigorously investigated the effect of instilling bupivacaine in …
Bendable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath Versus Conventional Ureteral Access Sheath in Management of Renal Stones Using Flexible Ureteroscopy
Urinary calculus is a globally recognized urological condition, with prevalence rates ranging from 1% to 13% across different geographical regions (1) Therapeutic approaches for renal calculi encompass extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and minimally invasive endoscopic surgical techniques, such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). Treatment plans …
Influence of Obesity on Endogenous Oxalate Synthesis
There is increasing evidence that obesity is associated with increased urinary oxalate excretion, an important risk factor for calcium oxalate stone formation. By the administration of a controlled low oxalate diet the investigators will estimate endogenous oxalate synthesis in both non-obese and obese non-kidney-stone forming adults. This study seeks to …
Oxalate Formation From Ascorbic Acid
The purpose of this basic research study is to determine the contribution of endogenous ascorbic acid (AA) turnover to urinary oxalate excretion in both normal BMI and obese adult non-stone formers and calcium oxalate stone formers. The studies proposed will use diets of known nutrient composition, a stable isotope of …
Oxalate and Citrate
This is a single-center study that aims to earn more about how two different compounds found in food, oxalate and citrate, may affect a person's chances of forming kidney stones.
Oxalate-Driven Host Responses in Kidney Stone Disease
This study is looking to understand the role of oxalate on kidney stone development and immunity. This study will enroll healthy participants and participants with calcium oxalate kidney stones (CaOx KS). Participants will be in this study for about 3 weeks, consume controlled diets, and provide blood and urine specimens.
Randomized Controlled Trial of Miniaturized Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy With Vacuum-Assisted Access Sheaths Versus Conventional Sheaths for Treatment of Nephrolithiasis
The purpose of this study is to compare two variations of the mini-PCNL procedure using either a vacuum-assisted sheath or standard sheath which are both used for the surgical treatment of kidney stones. Both procedure types are commonly used in the treatment of kidneys stones and they have been shown …
Potassium Citrate and Crystal Light Lemonade
To define the effect of crystal light, potassium citrate, or both on urinary stone risk factors in patients with a history of stone and hypocitraturia/low pH
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 …
Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) Versus Holmium MOSES Laser for Ureteroscopic Management of Kidney Stones
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.
