Summary

This trial compares two ways to remove kidney stones using small surgical tools inserted through the skin. It targets patients who can be treated with either method. Both methods involve breaking up and removing stones, but they use different-sized tools. One method is a minimally invasive procedure developed for the removal of kidney stones, allowing for faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
