Abstract
Background:To compare the treatment outcome of Silodosin alone and Silodosin with Tadalafil as a medical expulsive therapy (MET) of lower ureteric stone in western part of Rajasthan. Material And Methods:The study was conducted in a tertiary hospital of Dr. S.N. Medical College, Jodhpur over a period of 12 months (1st January, 2020 to 31st December, 2020). Out of 108 patients, 100 meet the inclusion criteria who were purposively assigned into 2 groups. 48 patients included in Silodosin alone group and 52 in Silodosin with Tadalafil group. Result:There was a significant higher stone expulsionrate in Silodosin with Tadalafil than Silodosin alone which was 88.46% vs75% respectively (P value 0.02). The mean stone expulsion time of Silodosin alone was14.33 (±3.1) days and Silodosin plus Tadalafil was 11.48(±2.3) days (P value 0.001). The episodes of pain in Silodosin alone were 0.7(±0.06) and 0.6(±0.2) in Silodosin with Tadalafil group that was statistically significant. Conclusion:The present study suggested that Silodosin with tadalafil combination therapy significantly increases ureteric stone expulsion rate and decreases the expulsion time and pain episodes than treatment with silodosin alone.
