High Powered Stone Dusting vs. Fragmentation and Basketing at Time of Ureteroscopy
Prospective, Randomized Study to Assess Patient Satisfaction and Stone Free Effect of High Powered Stone Dusting vs. Fragmentation and Basketing at Time of Ureteroscopy
Northwestern University
168 participants
Jul 28, 2021
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
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.
