Clinical Trials

The purpose of this study is to determine if the performances of two types of scopes that are used to treat kidney stones are equivalent. This will help guide institutions in the future to purchase the best scopes for their patients.

The purpose of the study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of a treatment for removing kidney stones called the SURE procedure for stone evacuation to the standard treatment using a basket for stone removal.

The purpose of this study is to determine if CBD oil has any effect on decreasing postoperative pain control following ureteroscopy for urinary stone disease, and to determine if CBD oil has any effect in decreasing the amount of postoperative opioids (commonly used drug) used by patients after undergoing ureteroscopy for urinary stone disease.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Uriprene® Stent by assessing adequate intervention-free drainage during use and the time to complete degradation or the passage of stent fragments/segments from the urinary system by radiological assessment.

In the medical world more and more procedures are performed with the use of ionizing radiation (x-ray), both diagnostic and therapeutic. The main and most known risk is the development of malignancies as a result of the use of ionizing radiation.

Purpose of this study: To examine the patient radiation dose (PRD) if the frames per second (FPS) are set differently during the five most performed endourological procedures where fluoroscopy is used (insertion/replacement of ureteral stent, (mini-)percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL/PNL), ureterorenoscopy (URS) and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL/SWL)) and to propose an acceptable PRD for these procedures in a multicentric study.
