Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To determine whether there is a role for Tamsulosin, A Selective Alpha-1 Adrenergic Blocker, as therapy in children with Posterior Urethral Valve post valve ablation , and whether there are side effects involved.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of alpha adrenergic blocker, tamsulosin, in children with posterior urethral valves regarding:

* Effect on upper urinary tract (Hydronephrosis improvement, Vesicoureteric Reflux resolution and renal function)
* Effect on bladder outlet resistance
* Effect on intravesical detrusor pressure
* Febrile Urinary Tract Infection recurrence
