Retrograde urethrogram and voiding cystourethrogram are used to define length and location of urethral stricture prior to surgery. We used a single dose of silodosin prior to VCUG to relax the bladder neck and achieve visualization of posterior urethra.
To evaluate the efficacy of silodosin in visualization of posterior urethra during VCUG, and to compare the findings with a control group.
Patients were divided into two groups A and B containing 20 and 15 patients, respectively. Patients in group A were given a single dose of silodosin prior to radiological studies.
In group A 19 out of 20 patients were able to achieve satisfactory bladder neck opening while in group B 10 out of 15 patients were able to achieve bladder neck opening.
Silodosin use prior to VCUG confers a statistically significant increase in bladder neck opening and visualization of posterior urethra.
逆行尿道造影和排尿性膀胱尿道造影用于在手术前确定尿道狭窄的长度和位置。我们在排尿性膀胱尿道造影前使用单剂量的西洛多辛来放松膀胱颈并实现后尿道的可视化。
评估西洛多辛在排尿性膀胱尿道造影期间对后尿道可视化的疗效,并与对照组的结果进行比较。
患者分为A组和B组,分别有20例和15例患者。A组患者在放射学检查前给予单剂量的西洛多辛。
A组20例患者中有19例能够实现满意的膀胱颈开放,而B组15例患者中有10例能够实现膀胱颈开放。
在排尿性膀胱尿道造影前使用西洛多辛可使膀胱颈开放和后尿道可视化在统计学上有显著增加。
