Core Tip	Management of acute colic due to lower ureteric calculi requires balancing stone clearance, patient comfort, and treatment costs. Ureteroscopic lithotripsy achieves higher stone-free rates and patient satisfaction, especially in larger or complex stones, whereas extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy remains a less invasive, cost-effective option suitable for smaller stones. Treatment should therefore be individualized, considering stone characteristics, patient preferences, and resource availability.
