Summary

Patients with a ureteral or kidney stone that causes symptoms, like pain, frequently have small kidney stones that don't cause symptoms. If these small kidney stones are determined to be asymptomatic (not causing any problems or pain), then most urologists will simply remove the symptomatic ureteral stone and leave the additional stones in the kidneys. However, symptomatic kidney stones started as small stones that didn't cause symptoms. This means that the small stones remaining in the patient's kidney may cause problems later. The purpose of our research is to test if removing small stones from the kidney prevents future stone episodes.
