Abstract

DJ stent placement is a common and necessary urological procedure that can be used in a variety of ways to treat a variety of urinary tract conditions. It can cause lower urinary tract symptoms (LTUS). Pharmacologic therapy is one of several experiments that have been conducted to alleviate these symptoms, specifically the use of alpha-1A blockers (tamsulosin) and antimuscarinics (solifenacin) in the treatment of LUTS associated with DJ stents. The aim of our study was evaluating the monotherapy of tamsulosin vs monotherapy of solifenacin in ureter stent discomfort patients in department of Urology Sri Venkateswara Institute of Medical Sciences south Indian tertiary care teaching hospital Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. A retrospective study was conducted in 187 patients with ureter stent discomfort patients. The data collected from 187 patients was initially assessed for their USSQ quesionarries, QoL and efficacy of monotherapy of tamsulosin vs monotherapy of solifenacin was assessed.
