The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of forced diuresis as an antiretropulsion strategy during the pneumatic disintegration of solitary lower ureteric stones with semi-rigid ureteroscopy (URS). A prospective randomized double-blind study was carried out from March 2019 to June 2021 for patients presented with unilateral solitary radiopaque lower ureteric stones ≤ 20 mm. Patients were randomized for URS into two groups, according to the use of forced diuresis using furosemide 1 mg/kg (GII) or not (GI).
