Trial summary

there is an increased incidence of renal stones, especially in the pediatric age group. the percutaneous approach in the pediatric age took a long time till it again accepted among surgeons worldwide. the prone position is the preferred approach to perform percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the pediatric age group.

About this study

Official title: Supine Versus Prone Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in the Pediatric Age Group? A Randomized Controlled Trial.

there is an increased incidence of renal stones, especially in the pediatric age group. the percutaneous approach in the pediatric age took a long time till it again accepted among surgeons worldwide. the prone position is the preferred approach to perform percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the pediatric age group. this study aims to compare supine versus prone position percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the pediatric age group.

Read the detailed description

The incidence of renal stones in the pediatric age group increased from 18.4 to 57.0% per100,000 children in the period from 1999 to 2008. The acceptance of PCNL in pediatrics was slow at first due to concerns of the small kidney size compared to relatively large instruments percutaneous nephrolithotomy in pediatric patients was conventionally performed in the prone position for historical reasons, being more familiar to surgeons and it was considered safer to avoid colonic injury.

Supine PCNL has several valuable advantages to pediatric patients in particular better irrigation shorter operative time with a comparable outcome with the prone position.

our study aims to assess the efficacy and the safety of percutaneous nephrolithotomy in the supine position in comparison to the prone position in the pediatric age group.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. stone free rate

    evaluation of our patients after surgery with Xray or CT to detect residual stones

    Measured: first day postoperative

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Fluoroscopy time during the procedure in minutes

    time of fluoroscopy exposure in minutes intraoperative, time of radiational exposure during the surgery. operative finding only

    Measured: intraoperative finding in minutes,

  2. operative time of the procedure in minutes

    time from patient positioning till the end of the procedure, operative finding only

    Measured: intraoperative finding in minutes,

  3. rate of Hemoglobin drop

    change in the perioperative hemoglobin level

    Measured: day 1 post operative

  4. hospital stay

    days of hospital stay after the surgery

    Measured: first 2 days post surgery

  5. incidence of urinary tract infection

    presence of manifested urinary tract infection in our patient

    Measured: first 7 days post surgery

  6. urine leakage

    urine leakage from the percutaneous renal tract

    Measured: first 3 days postoperative

  7. irrigation fluid usage

    amount of irrigation fluid used during the surgery in liters

    Measured: intraoperative finding

  8. postoperative fever

    incidence of postoperative fever more than 38 c

    Measured: first 2 days post surgery

  9. need for DJ application

    the need for DJ application intraoperative due to rough manipulation, bleeding or residual stones

    Measured: intraoperative finding

  10. incidence of intraoperative colonic injury

    the accident injury to adjacent colon

    Measured: intraoperative finding

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing percutaneous nephrolithotomy (supine position) and percutaneous nephrolithotomy ( prone position) in people with Renal Stone, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

stone free rate (time frame: first day postoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jul 2022.
