About this study

Official title: Accurate Positioning of CT-Ultrasound Fusion in PCNL Puncture Guidance

Kidney stone is a common urological disease. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is an important method for the treatment of kidney stones. The accuracy of puncture positioning affects the PCNL stone free rate and intraoperative/postoperative complications. Currently, PCNL puncture positioning methods are mainly X-ray-guided or ultrasound-guided. The main disadvantage of X-ray is the lack of soft tissue imaging, and the problem of low puncture accuracy. Although ultrasound is a commonly used real-time imaging tool, the image is not intuitive enough, and the puncture path is deviated from actual requirements . In order to improve the accuracy of PCNL puncture, this study intends to import CT images of both kidneys into a novel ultrasound machine through an image fusion system to achieve CT-ultrasound image fusion, and to simulate the puncture route to guide the PCNL puncture process. The study is mainly divided into two parts: (1) For patients with kidney stones who are planning to undergo PCNL, perform a preoperative simulated CT-ultrasound fusion examination to further clarify the condition of the kidney stones and simulate and optimize the puncture route; (2) Apply CT- Ultrasound fusion precise positioning to guide the intraoperative PCNL puncture process. On the basis of traditional ultrasound images, the CT-ultrasound fusion image display is added to provide the optimal puncture route to explore the effectiveness and safety of CT-ultrasound fusion precise positioning in PCNL puncture.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Nov 2020. 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 China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Stone free rate (time frame: in a week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04645472, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 27 Nov 2020.
