Intraoperative Cone-beam CT for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Cone beam CT for Nephrolithiasis. Completed, enrolled 234 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a first-line treatment for kidney stones \>2cm. Frequently, patients require multiple procedures to address their stone burden. The decision to proceed with a second-look procedure is based on follow-up CT imaging, which is obtained postoperatively. In this study, we propose the use of a portable CT scan technology to obtain follow-up imaging while the patient is still under anesthesia for the initial procedure. The goal of this study is to determine whether this allows the surgeon to identify residual fragments and render the patient stone-free within a single anesthetic event.
