Abstract
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of silodosin on stages of flexible ureteroscopy (F-URS) procedures, complications, and stone-free rate (SFR).
Patients and methods: A prospective, randomized, controlled comparison research was conducted on 106 patients who were randomly allocated into two groups: the study group (52 patients) received F-URS with preoperative daily uptake of 8 mg silodosin for 10 days, and the control group (54 patients) received F- URS without silodosin uptake. Two patients were lost during the follow up in the study group and four patients were also lost in the controls.
Results: Operative time, application access sheath time (AAST), entrance to ureteric orifice time (ETUOT), and entrance to bladder time (ETBT) were significantly lower in the study group compared to controls. Meanwhile, F-URS time & laser time was higher in the study group compared to controls but without statistically significant difference. Complications were insignificalty different between both studied goups with no impact on SFR.
Conclusion: Before ureteroscopy, silodosin, an adjunctive alpha-blocker therapy, was successful in treating stones resulting in shortening the procedural time, with no impact on SFR or complication rate.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
