Abstract
Lower ureteric stones and accompanying ureteric colics represent one of the most common medical problems faced by urologist, the treatment usually starts with conservative therapy, however, if the stone fails to pass within 4‐6 weeks, a prompts action should be taken to save the kidney, this usually involves one of the minimally invasive therapy options like shock wave lithotripsy(ESWL), of ureteroscopy. However this is not free of risk, and cost, for these reasons, urologists now concentrate on what's called medical expulsive therapy, which means using drugs to enhance stone passage. This study is taken up to assess the possible role of the combined alpha 1a & alpha1d Selective antagonist Tamsulosin alone and in combination with corticosteroid deflazacort for facilitating spontaneous expulsion of distal ureteral stones.
