Drugs before surgery aim to make kidney stone removal safer and faster
NCT ID NCT03229889
Summary
This study tested whether taking certain medications before kidney stone surgery could help doctors safely place a larger working tube in the ureter. 220 adults scheduled for stone removal were randomly assigned to receive one of two drugs (tadalafil or tamsulosin), both together, or a placebo pill for a week before their procedure. The goal was to see if relaxing the ureter muscle with these drugs would allow for a larger tube, potentially leading to better surgical results and fewer complications.
