NCT07012941
The holmium laser is currently considered the gold standard for lithotripsy on urinary lithiasis, whereas the super-pulsed thulium fibre laser is a relatively new technology. Through a multi-center prospective randomised clinical study that mainly aims to explore the effectiveness and safety of a super-pulsed fibre thulium laser compared to a holmium laser in the treatment of upper ureteral and renal stones (10mm\<cumulative maximum diameter ≤ 25mm) in retrograde intrarenal surgery. The research participants are assigned randomly to undergo retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) either using a super-pulsed thulium fibre laser or a holmium-YAG laser with an allocation ratio of 1:1. The secondary aim of this study is to provide high-level evidence for the development of diagnostic and treatment guidelines in the field of urolithiasis, both domestically and internationally. The outcomes of the RIRS procedures are compared for the two treatment arms.
NCT05869890
This study will examine the effects of ureteroscopic lasing technique (dusting, fragmentation and a hybrid approach) on total lasing time and total energy in patients with a large renal calculi burden of single or multiple stones with the sum of its longest diameters between 10-20 mm and having mean Hounsfield units of 1000 or more.
NCT06767384
In clinical practice both Xray and CT Scan KUB are reliable,however, Ctscan is superior to X ray KUB in detecting renal and ureteric calculi,the reson being stone that are missed by xray KUB are usually small and sould pass spontenously while other are usually with improper bowel preparation
NCT03344107
Prospective randomized controlled single-blind parallel-group trial in order to compare symptoms related to loop-tail (Polaris Loop) stents versus conventional double J (Vortek) stents after uncomplicated flexible URS.
NCT02519634
Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is recommended for kidney stones \< 20 mm. However, the stone clearance of lower pole calculi after SWL is limited, thus leading to an extended indication for mini-percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (PCNL) even for stones between 10 and 20 mm in many centers. This trend is further promoted by introduction of super-mini PCNL (SMP), which is postulated to be less invasive compared to mini-PCNL due to the miniaturized instruments. However, this issue remains controversial. On the other hand, improvements in endoscopy technology have made retrograde stone removal more attractive. This has led to an increasing use of RIRS as a primary treatment although it is recommended only as 2nd-line option by current guidelines. However, the treatment of symptomatic lower pole calculi is a challenge for RIRS because of lower clearance rates. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SMP and RIRS for the treatment for symptomatic lower pole calculi renal calculi measuring 10-20 mm.

Percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) is a common endoscopic procedure performed for upper urinary tract calculus disease. Despite being minimally invasive, it is associated with significant postoperative pain, often necessitating inpatient hospitalization and narcotic pain medications. Additionally, one of a number of catheters is often left protruding from the access tract for a period of time following the procedure, adding to patient discomfort. Attempts have been made to study peri-tubular or access tract analgesic installation, which have shown promise.1-2 However, no studies, to our knowledge, have examined the use of liposomal bupivacaine preparations in this regard. In this study we hope to prospectively analyze the use of liposomal bupivacaine injected to the access tract site at the time of PCNL and determine its effects on postoperative narcotic requirement and pain scores. Patients presenting for PCNL will be randomized to either the liposomal bupivacaine or usual care, which involves no injection of local anesthesia. Patients will then be followed during their inpatient stay. Total narcotic requirement (in milligrams) and pain scores (using Wong-Baker FACES rating scale) will be compared.3 Typical postoperative care and discharge criteria will not change during the course of this study.
NCT02645708
The treatment of renal calculus by retrograde intrarenal surgery(RIRS) isn't able to eliminate stone completely, hastening fragments clearance just only rely on traditional expulsive methods such as high fluid intake ,increasing physical activity, medical expulsive therapy and changing body position. Therefore, researchers purpose to evaluate the effectiveness of external physical vibration lithecbole(EPVL) in treatment of residual fragments after RIRS by prospective study of clinical trial, which will improve stone-free rate of residual fragments and benefit more patients.
NCT02643134
The traditional stone row method comprises increasing exercise, drink lots of water, drug row of stone and stone row position. External physical vibration lithecbole(EPVL) is a non-invasive device active row of stone, the researchers hope that through this test prospective clinical study to evaluate the effectiveness of in vitro physical vibration row of stones after extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy(ESWL) treatment of stones discharged, thereby improving after ESWL stone clearance rate.
NCT01215708
The investigators objective is to study if some drugs can improve the success rate of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for renal stones.
NCT00893282
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate BackStop, a polymer-based device that is intended to be used during ureteroscopic lithotripsy to prevent retrograde stone migration. It is a water soluble polymer with reverse thermosensitive properties; the polymer exists as a liquid at low temperature (below 17 C) and rapidly transitions to a high viscosity gel at body temperature (i.e. in the ureter). BackStop is injected above the stones in the ureter and is intended to prevent retrograde migration of stones during ureteroscopic lithotripsy. Upon completion of the lithotripsy procedure, BackStop dissolves naturally or by irrigation. The study hypothesis is that a greater proportion of patients will experience no retropulsion of a kidney stone when BackStop is used versus no anti-retropulsion device when undergoing intracorporeal lithotripsy.
