Objectives: To evaluate the improvement of storage symptoms in accordance with voiding symptoms and assess the prognostic factors that influence the relief of storage symptoms after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Methods: Between August 2017 and November 2019, 75 patients indicated for TURP were included in the study, we assessed the improvement of storage symptoms and factors that may influence storage symptoms persistence after TURP such as Age, Overactive bladder symptoms (OABS) score (Blaivas 2007) and Urodynamic parameters such as maximum flow rate (Q MAX), maximum cystometric capacity (MCC), bladder contractility index (BCI), phasic and terminal detrusor overactivity (DO). Assessment of patients was done before and 6 months after TURP by international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life score (QLSS), OABSS (Blaivas score 2007), and urodynamic studies.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of silodosin therapy, as a new α-adrenergic receptor (α-AR) blocker, on the success rate of semi-rigid ureteroscopy (URS) for the management of large distal ureteric stones.
Patients And Methods: This prospective study recruited 127 adult patients with single distal ureteric stone of ≥1 cm. The patients were randomly allocated to two groups: the first group included 62 patients who received silodosin (8 mg) for 10 days before URS (Silodosin group), whilst the second group included 65 patients who received placebo, in the form of multivitamins, for 10 days before URS (Placebo group).
Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of silodosin against tamsulosin as medical expulsion therapeutic agent in stone lower 1/3rd ureter.
Patients And Methods: One hundred fifty patients divided equally into 2 groups I and II received silodosin 8 mg and tamsulosin 0.4 mg respectively.
