No results posted yet for this study

Summary

As a first treatment option for small-size ureteric stones, α-blockers are now being used for medical expulsive therapy (MET) instead of invasive procedures. There is high evidence of the therapeutic benefit of α-blockers in the treatment of Distal ureteric stone (DUS); also endorsed by international guidelines.

However, limited data is available worldwide, on the effect of silodosin to treat DUS. A multi-center study is needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of therapy.
