U.S., Jan. 31 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07377461) titled 'Flexible and Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath (FANS) vs Conventional Access Sheaths in RIRS: A Prospective Randomized Study.' on Jan. 07.
Brief Summary: Kidney stones located in the kidney are commonly treated using a minimally invasive procedure called retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS). During this procedure, a ureteral access sheath is often used to facilitate repeated access to the kidney, improve visualization, and allow irrigation fluid to drain.
Newer access sheaths have been developed with flexible distal tips and built-in suction capabilities, which may help reduce operative time by improving visibility and remov...
