Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of a treatment for removing kidney stones called the SURE procedure for stone evacuation to the standard treatment using a basket for stone removal.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Stone Free Rate (SFR) - Zero Fragments
The primary efficacy endpoint is the SFR, where stone free status is defined as zero residual fragments at 30 days observed on non-contrast CT (NCCT) (1.25mm slice thickness) by blinded central reviewer(s). The SFR is calculated by determining the number of subjects in each treatment arm with a stone free status of zero fragments and dividing that by the total number of subjects treated in the respective treatment arm.

ACTIVE COMPARATORInterventions
The SURE stone evacuation procedure is a technique intended to more easily and completely remove a kidney stone during a kidney stone treatment. The urologist first uses a laser to break the kidney stone into small pieces. Then with the SURE procedure, the pieces are gently vacuumed out of the kidney instead of retrieving the pieces one-by-one with a basket or leaving them to pass naturally in the urine. Basketing is allowed and might be used with the SURE procedure, if needed to remove some small stones.
This is a treatment in which the urologist uses a laser to break a kidney stone into small pieces and then uses a tool called a basket to retrieve the pieces one at a time.
