U.S., May 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07614880) titled 'Vacuum-Assisted Mini-Percutaneous Versus Transurethral Cystolithotripsy in Pediatric Bladder Stones' on May 22.
Brief Summary: This prospective randomized pilot study will compare vacuum-assisted mini-percutaneous cystolithotripsy with standard transurethral cystolithotripsy for the treatment of bladder stones in children. Forty children aged 2 to 14 years with bladder stone(s) measuring 10-30 mm will be randomly assigned to one of two surgical approaches.
