Summary
This study tested whether taking tamsulosin or silodosin (drugs often used for prostate issues) before a kidney stone surgery called RIRS makes it easier to insert a protective tube and reduces injury to the ureter. 140 adults with kidney stones were randomly assigned to receive one of the drugs or no drug before surgery. The results showed that those who took the medication had a higher success rate for tube insertion and less ureteral damage, especially if they were over 59 or had a BMI over 25.
