Official Title: Safety and Efficacy of Using Traditional Ureteral Access Sheath Versus Ureteral Suction Sheath in Retrograde Intra-Renal Stone Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study
Brief Summary:
This study compares two techniques used during RIRS for the treatment of kidney stones measuring up to 20 mm.During RIRS, surgeons often use a device called a UAS to help pass instruments into the urinary system and to assist with the removal of stone fragments.A traditional UAS allows irrigation fluid and small fragments to flow out passively.A newer type, known as a suction UAS, applies controlled negative pressure to help clear stone fragments more effectively and may reduce pressure inside the kidney during…
