This study is comparing two ways to treat kidney stones (urolithiasis): Steerable Ureteroscopic Renal Evacuation (SURE) using the CVAC System, and standard ureteroscopy (URS). SURE uses a steerable catheter with vision, irrigation, and aspiration to remove stones. Standard URS uses a laser to break stones into small pieces, followed by a stent to help them pass. The goal is to see which method leaves less stone material behind (Residual Stone Volume) after 30 days. You may be able to join if you are an adult who needs ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy and are willing to attend follow-up appointments. You cannot join if you have an untreated urinary tract infection. The study plans to enroll 150 participants, but its current status is unclear.

Study design

This is a multi-center study where participants are randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups (SURE or standard URS) with equal chances.

What's involved

You would need to be willing and able to return for and respond to all study-related follow-up procedures.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The main measurement for success, Residual Stone Volume, is taken 30 days after the procedure.
