Abstract
The results of our study have demonstrated that tamsulosin therapy, as an adjunctive medical therapy after ESWL, is more effective than lithotripsy alone for the treatment of patients with large renal stones and is equally safe. In addition, our results also indicated that adjunctive treatment with tamsulosin could decrease the use of analgesic drugs after ESWL.
