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 …
A Single-Center Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Xinwell Ureteroscope
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 …
Indapamide and Chlorthalidone to Reduce Urine Supersaturation for Kidney Stone Prevention
The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of the two long-acting thiazide-like diuretics indapamide and chlorthalidone in reducing urine supersaturation for calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate compared to the short-acting thiazide diuretic hydrochlorothiazide for the prevention of calcium-containing kidney stones.
Eye Gaze Guidance Evaluation in Phantoms
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 …
Occlusion Balloon vs. 5FR Ureteral Catheter
Occlusion Balloon catheter provides the ability to occlude the exit of the kidney pelvis during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and potentially prevents the migration of stone fragments into the ureter. The necessity for it might be questioned during supine PCNL due to the upward oblique position of the kidney. The objective …
