The Effect of Preoperative Tamsulosin on Pediatric Ureteroscopic Access: A Multi-Institutional Experience
Our results expand on prior research and suggest that at least 1 week of preoperative tamsulosin facilitates flexible ureteroscopic access in the pediatric population. These results have significant clinical implications, with the potential to reduce multiple procedures and spare children from repeat anesthetic exposures.
