摘要
Results of two large randomized controlled trials have challenged the use of medical expulsive therapy for the management of ureteral calculi. A new trial now shows that tamsulosin is effective in patients with distal calculi >5 mm in size, demonstrating that the effectiveness of MET depends on stone size and location.
