Efficacy of pre-operative silodosin on flexible ureteroscopy procedure: A randomized controlled study

Objectives To evaluate the impact of silodosin on stages flexible ureteroscopy (F-URS) procedures, complications, and stone-free rate (SFR).Patients Methods A prospective, randomized, controlled comparison research was conducted 106 patients who were randomly allocated into two groups: study group (52 patients) received F-URS with preoperative daily uptake 8 mg for 10 days, control (54 F- URS without uptake. Two lost during follow up in four also controls.Results Operative time, application access sheath time (AAST), entrance to ureteric orifice (ETUOT), bladder (ETBT) significantly lower compared controls. Meanwhile, & laser higher controls but statistically significant difference. Complications insignificalty different between both studied goups no SFR.Conclusion Before ureteroscopy, silodosin, an adjunctive alpha-blocker therapy, successful treating stones resulting shortening procedural SFR or complication rate.
