High Powered Stone Dusting vs. Fragmentation and Basketing at Time of Ureteroscopy
The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in stone free results, patient side effects, and patient satisfaction between dusting vs. basket extraction for kidney and ureteral stones (a kidney stone located in the tube between the kidney and bladder) 6 mm and greater in size undergoing ureteroscopic …
Thulium Fiber Laser vs. Holmium:YAG Laser for the Ureteroscopic Treatment of Patients With Urinary Stone Disease
This is a randomized controlled trial which aims to compare the efficacy and safety of Thulium fiber laser (TFL) and holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser ablation during the treatment of upper urinary tract stone disease with flexible ureteroscopy, demonstrating clinical superiority of TFL.
Ureteroscopy With High-powered Holmium:Yag Laser Lithotripsy With and Moses On or Moses Off
The purpose of this study is to compare Moses 2.0 pulse modulation technology and the standard high powered Holmium Laser lithotripsy and how it will affect time in the operating room, time using the laser, laser energy, and stone free rates. Currently Moses 2.0 laser technology is FDA approved and …
Access Sheath and Stent Trial
The study is being completed to compare patient reported outcomes for stent omission vs. placement after using a ureteral access sheath for uncomplicated ureteroscopy. Participants that consent for the study will complete baseline PRO questionnaires. A UAS will be used during surgery, and the size left to the discretion of …
Hemodynamic Effects of Surgical Position in Prone vs. Supine Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
This prospective, randomized controlled study evaluates the hemodynamic effects of prone and supine positions during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for large kidney stones. Surgical position may influence intraoperative and postoperative hemodynamic stability. Prone positioning can increase intrathoracic pressure and reduce venous return, whereas supine positioning may provide greater hemodynamic stability. A …
Alpha-Blockers Prior to Ureteral Access Sheath Placement in Flexible Ureteroscopy: A Randomized Prospective Study
This study aims to evaluate whether the use of alpha-blockers before flexible ureterorenolithotripsy facilitates the passage of the ureteral access sheath. The trial will enroll adult patients diagnosed with kidney stones who are scheduled for flexible ureteroscopy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive or not receive alpha-blockers for seven …
Methocarbamol vs Oxybutynin for Management of Pain and Discomfort S/P Ureteroscopy Procedure
Stone disease is a common condition, affecting approximately 9% of Americans in 2007. It causes great morbidity and is also a costly condition, estimated to cost the US healthcare system approximately 3.79 billion dollars in 2007. Ureteroscopy (URS) is the most commonly performed surgical treatment for upper tract stone disease. …
A Novel Approach for Reducing Hyperoxaluria and Kidney Stone Risk.
This pilot study is proposing a novel approach to directly target intestinal oxalate absorption with the drug Tenapanor, which was recently FDA-approved for treating hyperphosphatemia in patients with chronic kidney disease. Tenapanor works by blocking paracellular phosphate absorption by the intestine, but the underlying mechanisms have not been clearly defined. …
Comparison Between Two Methods for Renal Stone Treatment Mini Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy and Flexible Ureteroscopy With Suction Sheath
This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of two modern, minimally invasive surgical techniques for the removal of kidney stones: Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (Mini-PCNL) and Flexible Ureteroscopy (FURS) with Flexible and navigable suction sheath The primary objective is to determine which procedure results in a higher stone-free rate, as …
Maintenance of an Antiaggregation by Acetylsalicylic Acid, While a Extracorporeal Lithotripsy Session on a Kidney Stone is Perfomed: Comparative Unicentric Prospective Study
Background/Rationale for the study: Lithiasis pathology is increasingly common because of the change in our lifestyle and our food. Thus, we hold a prevalence for urinary lithiasis 10% in France currently including 13% of the male population and 6% of the female population. The formation of urinary lithiasis is the …
