Measurement of Resistance During UAS Insertion Procedure in RIRS
China120 participantsStarted 2018-09-12
Plain-language summary
Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has been considered as the first-line choice for the management of \<20mm kidney stones. Insertion of a ureteral access sheath (UAS) before RIRS surgery is currently accepted as an effective method to improve the effectiveness of surgery, but can be accompanied by serious complications. In long-term clinical practice, the investigators has found that different Bladder Filling Degree was accompanied by different Resistance During UAS Insertion Procedure in RIRS, which leads to the difference in success rate of UAS insertion.The investigator aims to perform a prospective and randomized controlled trial comparing the success rate of UAS insertion procedure under different bladder filling degree,and discuss the relationship between insertion resistance and ureter injury.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
