Brief Summary: Ureteral stones have an important place in daily urological practice usually causing acute episodes of ureteral colic by obstructing the urinary tract The aim of the study is to evaluate whether repeated administration of tamsulosin a drug routinely used in the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms could lower the delay of elimination of the stone in patients with pelvis ureterolithiasis
Detailed Description: Ureteral colic mainly due to ureterolithiasis represents 1 to 2 of hospital emergency admissions When a surgical intervention is not required usual treatment combines hydration and anti-inflammatory drugs

Alpha1-blockers firstly developed as anti-hypertensive drugs are now also used in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia due to their relaxing properties on the urinary tract The aim of the study is to investigate whether tamsulosin could lower the delay of elimination of the stone in patients with pelvis ureterolithiasis Patients are randomized to receive either tamsulosin or a placebo in addition to usual treatment until stone elimination Efficacy is assessed by evaluating the time to spontaneous passage of the stone between day 1 and day 42 the need for surgery and pain recurrences
