Clinical Trial: Efficacy and Safety of Flexible Ureteroscopy With Flexible Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath Versus Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy With Vacuum-Assisted Access Sheath

U.S., Aug. 14 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07763743) titled 'Efficacy and Safety of Flexible Ureteroscopy With Flexible Navigable Suction Ureteral Access Sheath Versus Mini-Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy With Vacuum-Assisted Access Sheath' on Aug. 09.

Brief Summary: Mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) are both effective treatment modalities for renal calculi measuring up to 2.5 cm in pediatric patients, demonstrating similar efficacy and complication profiles.

Suction has emerged as a potentially transformative adjunct in both percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and RIRS. Recent studies evaluating various suction mechanisms during RIRS and min...
