Silodosin in Facilitating Flexible Uretroscopy
Sponsor: Ain Shams University
Summary
This study aims to provide robust evidence on whether a specific, potent pre-operative medication (silodosin) can make the critical step of ureteral access (UAS placement after dilation) easier and safer during f-URS for kidney stones in non-stented patients, potentially reducing complications and the need for pre-stenting.
