Thulium Fiber Laser (TFL) vs Thulio Pulsed Thulium:YAG (p-Tm:YAG)
This research study is being conducted to assess the ability and efficiency of two laser systems to break up kidney stones during ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy for kidney stone treatment.
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 …
RIRS With Flex Suction Sheath vs. PCNL for 2-3 cm Renal Stones
This is a multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) using a tip-flexible suction access sheath with standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for the treatment of 2-3 cm unilateral renal stones. The aim is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the novel suction sheath-assisted RIRS compared to …
Comparison Between Different Types of Flexible Ureteroscopes
The current study aims to compare the performance of three distinct single-use digital flexible ureteroscope types in terms of cost-effectiveness, postoperative complications, operating time, and stone-free rates (SFRs).
ClearPetra™ Vacuum-assisted Ureteral Access Sheath vs Traditional Approach
Ureteroscopy has been considered the best approach when treating renal stones smaller than 2 cm. This procedure is usually performed together with ureteral access sheaths, which helps protect the ureter mucosa and lowers intrarenal pressure. Recently, a new vacuum-assisted ureteral access sheath called ClearPetra has entered US market and allows …
Comparison of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Versus Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery in the Management of Renal Calculi
This study is being carried out in patients with kidney stones measuring between 1 and 2 centimeters. Kidney stones are common in Pakistan and can cause severe pain, infection, and repeated hospital visits. Two commonly used treatments for stones of this size are extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and retrograde …
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 …
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.
