U.S., June 26 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07668817) titled 'Tract Closure in PCNL' on May 28.
Brief Summary: This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial evaluating the effect of a hemostatic agent on tract-related bleeding during percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Patients undergoing standardized PCNL will be randomized to receive either application of a hemostatic agent or no agent during tract closure, following uniform balloon occlusion, complete aspiration, and irrigation-free endoscopic assessment. The researchers hypothesize that adjunctive hemostatic agent use reduces perioperative hemoglobin decline compared with balloon tamponade alone and improves tract-related hemostasis ...
