The Oxford Stone Group is involved in a national clinical trial and local research projects.

Medical students or doctors interested in getting involved should contact Mr Ben Turney.

 

Therapeutic Intervention for Stones in the Ureter Trial (TISU)

A national study sponsored by NIHR to compare lithotripsy and ureteroscopy for ureteric stones. 

Local clinical projects

Several small scale projects available in various disciplines relating to stone disease:

  • lithotripsy based projects
  • analysis of clinical databases on stone patients

Model design for simulation and training

The Oxford Stone Group is developing training models for stone procedures using 3D printing techniques.
