Clinical Trial: Modified Mini-PCNL Versus Standard PCNL for Complex Kidney Stones

U.S., July 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07697677) titled 'Modified Mini-PCNL Versus Standard PCNL for Complex Kidney Stones' on July 07.

Brief Summary: Kidney stones that are large or complex are often treated with percutaneous nephrolithotomy, also called PCNL. Standard PCNL uses a larger access tract and is effective for removing complex kidney stones, but it may be associated with more bleeding, pain, and recovery burden. Modified mini-PCNL uses a smaller access tract and may reduce surgical trauma while maintaining a similar stone clearance rate.

This multicenter randomized trial will compare modified mini-PCNL using a 20 Fr access sheath with standard PCNL using a 24 Fr access sheath...
