Measurement of Resistance During UAS Insertion Procedure in RIRS

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has been considered as the first-line choice for the management of ＜20mm kidney stones. Insertion of a ureteral access sheath (UAS) before RIRS surgery is currently accepted as an effective method to improve the effectiveness of surgery, but can be accompanied by serious complications. In long-term clinical practice, the investigators has found that different Bladder Filling Degree was accompanied by different Resistance During UAS Insertion Procedure in RIRS, which leads to the difference in success rate of UAS insertion.The investigator aims to perform a prospective and randomized controlled trial comparing the success rate of UAS insertion procedure under different bladder filling degree,and discuss the relationship between insertion resistance and ureter injury.

Clinical Trial Description

Upper urinary calculi is a common disease that endangers human health, Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has been considered as the first-line choice for the management of ＜20mm kidney stones. Insertion of a ureteral access sheath (UAS) before RIRS surgery is currently accepted as an effective method to improve the effectiveness of surgery, for UAS can drain irrigation to reduce renal pelvic pressure and maintain vision clear. But incorrect way to insert UAS can be accompanied by serious complications. For instance, If the ureter was not dilated by DJ stent before RIRS surgery, or ureter was relatively narrow, the insertion of UAS would encounter great resistance. Sometimes the ureter was violently pushed into UAS, it might cause ureteral perforation or avulsion. As for how to insert UAS correctly, there is no unified international standard at present. Different surgeons have different experience. In long-term clinical practice, the investigators has found that different Bladder Filling Degree was accompanied by different Resistance During UAS Insertion Procedure in RIRS, which leads to the difference in success rate of UAS insertion. In addition, there seems to be some relationship between the resistance of UAS insertion and the ureter injury in surgery. Therefore, the investigator aims to perform a prospective and randomized controlled trial comparing the success rate of UAS insertion procedure under different bladder filling degree, and discuss the relationship between insertion resistance and ureter injury. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
