Clinical Trial: Comparison of Suction and Conventional Ureteral Access Sheaths in Kidney Stone Surgery

U.S., Oct. 9 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07866209) titled 'Comparison of Suction and Conventional Ureteral Access Sheaths in Kidney Stone Surgery' on Oct. 04.

Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to compare conventional and suction (aspiration) ureteral access sheaths used during retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in adults with kidney stones.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does the use of a suction ureteral access sheath increase the stone-free rate compared with a conventional sheath?

* Does the use of a suction sheath reduce operative time and complications such as postoperative fever and infection?

Researchers will compare patients treated with a conv...
