Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare Moses 2.0 pulse modulation technology and the standard high powered Holmium Laser lithotripsy and how it will affect time in the operating room, time using the laser, laser energy, and stone free rates. Currently Moses 2.0 laser technology is FDA approved and currently used in practice since 2021. No study to this date has compared Moses 2.0 without pulse modulation laser technology to Moses 2.0 with pulse modulation laser technology. The study will be including kidney and ureteral stones (a kidney stone located in the tube between the kidney and the bladder) that are 6mm and greater, but less than 20 mm in size undergoing ureteroscopic treatment. High powered lasers are used for "dusting". Dusting is when a laser is used to break a stone down into tiny fragments that are able to pass through the urine.
This is a randomized controlled trial which aims to compare the efficacy and safety of Thulium fiber laser (TFL) and holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser ablation during the treatment of upper urinary tract stone disease with flexible ureteroscopy, demonstrating clinical superiority of TFL.
A prospective, non-blinded, randomized controlled trial studying the management of symptomatic ureteral stones. This study will compare upfront ureteroscopy vs observation and delayed intervention for patients presenting to the emergency department with a symptomatic ureteral stone.
This multi-center trial is being completed to compare patient outcomes related to the Imajin silicone stent in comparison to non-silicone polyurethane stents after ureteroscopy. Eligible participants will be enrolled and randomly assigned to receive the Imajin silicone stent or a non-silicone stent. In addition, the participants will complete questionnaires and have follow-up information collected (approximately 60 days after surgery). The trial hypothesizes that a ureteral stent made of silicone, will have superior outcomes when compared to non-silicone stents.
The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in stone free results, patient side effects, and patient satisfaction between dusting vs. basket extraction for kidney and ureteral stones (a kidney stone located in the tube between the kidney and bladder) 6 mm and greater in size undergoing ureteroscopic treatment. Dusting is when a laser is used to break a stone down into tiny fragments that are able to pass through the urine. Basket extraction is when a small wire basket is used to remove stone fragments.
