This is the first study to evaluate preoperative tamsulosin on successful ureteral orifice navigation in school-age pediatric patients. Although not reaching statistical significance, further evaluation should be done on larger cohorts. Patient height was found to be an independent predictor of successful ureteral orifice navigation.
