Study of LithoVue Elite for Kidney Stones
This study is looking at how surgeons perform during kidney stone removal surgery (ureteroscopy) when they can see real-time measurements of pressure inside the kidney (intra-renal pressure). They are using a device called the LithoVue Elite™ ureteroscope. The goal is to see if having this information changes how surgeons behave during the procedure, specifically looking at their non-technical skills. You might be able to join if you are over 18, need flexible ureteroscopy for kidney stones in your upper urinary tract, and your total stone size is over 2 cm. The study aims to enroll 80 participants.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with 80 planned participants. It evaluates surgeons' behavior during ureteroscopic stone treatment with and without intra-renal pressure monitoring.
- What's involved
- You would undergo a ureteroscopy procedure for kidney stone removal. The study focuses on observing the surgeon's behavior during this procedure.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary outcome, surgeon behavior, is measured during the procedure. No specific follow-up period after the procedure is mentioned.

Inclusion
What this trial measures
- Surgeon behavior as measured by mean Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS) score.Procedure
Treating investigators will be evaluated using the modified NOTSS tool during the procedure. The NOTSS is used to measure non-technical skills in the operation room in the following categories; situation awareness, decision making, communication \& teamwork, and leadership.
