What this Trial Is About
This research aims to compare three types of single-use digital flexible ureteroscopes used in retrograde intrarenal surgery RIRS for treating kidney stones smaller than 20 millimeters. The study focuses on evaluating cost-effectiveness, postoperative complications, operating time, and stone-free rates, addressing the lack of comparative data on these devices. Participants will be randomly assigned to undergo RIRS with one of three ureteroscopes LithoVue, WiScope, or a device from Scivita Medical Technology Co., Ltd. Each device is a single-use digital flexible ureteroscope used to manage renal stones. The trial will assess differences among these devices in terms of clinical and economic outcomes. During the study, participants will have their operative times recorded and monitored for complications up to four weeks after surgery. Researchers will measure cost-effectiveness and stone-free rates four weeks postoperatively. The total involvement includes surgery and follow-up assessments to evaluate safety and performance outcomes.
