Exclusion criteria were coexisting noncalculous disease (e.g., malignant obstruction, renal insufficiency, or congenital
anomaly of urinary tract), solitary kidney, ureteral stricture, pregnancy, or complicated ureteroscopic ureter stone removal requiring long-term stent placement (>7 days). Patients who were taking an alpha-blocker or anti-cholinergic agent to treat lower urinary tract symptoms or who were taking analgesics for chronic pain were also excluded to rule out any influence
