Stone Cone Device vs. Standard URS for Proximal Ureteral Calculi
14. august 2026 opdateret af: Akbar Shah, Provincial Headquarter Teaching Hospital Gilgit
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Stone Clearance and Retrograde Migration in Ureteroscopic Pneumatic Lithotripsy for Proximal Ureteral Calculi Performed With and Without the Stone Cone Anti-Retropulsion Device
Retrograde migration of stone fragments into the kidney during ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URS) for proximal ureteral stones is a common technical challenge, occurring in 5-40% of cases.
This can lead to residual fragments and lower stone-free rates.
The Stone Cone is an anti-retropulsion device designed to trap fragments and prevent their migration.
This study will test the hypothesis that the use of the Stone Cone during URS pneumatic lithotripsy will result in a significantly higher stone clearance rate at 48 hours post-procedure compared to the standard technique without the device.

Intervention / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentel: Group A: Stone Cone Device
Participants will undergo ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy for a proximal ureteral calculus.
The Stone Cone device will be positioned fluoroscopically proximal to the stone before fragmentation and used to prevent retrograde stone migration and trap fragments for extraction.
|
Patients will undergo ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy under general anesthesia.
The Stone Cone device (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA) will be advanced through the ureteroscope and positioned fluoroscopically proximal to the calculus before fragmentation.
The device will create a mechanical barrier to prevent retrograde stone migration into the renal pelvis and will be used to trap and extract fragments upon withdrawal.
A ureteral double-J stent will be placed at the end of the procedure.
|
|
Aktiv komparator: Group B: Standard URS
Participants will undergo standard ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy for a proximal ureteral calculus without the use of any anti-retropulsion device.
|
Patients will undergo standard ureteroscopic pneumatic lithotripsy under general anesthesia without the use of any anti-retropulsion device.
Stone fragmentation and fragment extraction will be performed using standard tools (pneumatic lithotripter, grasping forceps, or basket) as per the surgeon's discretion.
A ureteral double-J stent will be placed at the end of the procedure.

IPD-planbeskrivelse
Individual participant data will not be shared with other researchers due to institutional policies regarding patient confidentiality and data protection.
Additionally, the trial is a single-center study with a modest sample size, and the research team does not have an established infrastructure for data-sharing or the necessary resources to support external data requests.
