Summary
Ureteral stones have an important place in daily urological practice, usually causing acute
episodes of ureteral colic by obstructing the urinary tract. The aim of the study is to
evaluate whether repeated administration of tamsulosin, a drug routinely used in the
treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms, could lower the delay of elimination of the stone
in patients with pelvis ureterolithiasis.
