Official title Patient Positioning for Treatment of Proximal Ureteral Stones
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07601932
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Ureteroscopic management of proximal ureteral stones presents technical challenges including stone retropulsion, prolonged operative time, and conversion to intrarenal treatment. Reverse Trendelenburg positioning has been shown to reduce proximal stone migration and operative time in ureteral stones, while the T-tilt position improves intrarenal stone clearance.
