Clinical Trial: Transurethral Versus Percutaneous Cystolithotripsy for Bladder Stones in Adults

U.S., Sept. 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07810582) titled 'Transurethral Versus Percutaneous Cystolithotripsy for Bladder Stones in Adults' on Sept. 03.

Brief Summary: This study evaluates and compares two minimally invasive surgical approaches for treating bladder stones in adult patients: transurethral cystolithotripsy (TUCL) and percutaneous cystolithotripsy (PCCL).

Urinary bladder stones are commonly managed using endoscopic techniques to avoid the morbidity of open surgery.

While both approaches are eff...
