A new alternative approach to management of acute phase Peyronie's disease: low intensity extracorporeal shockwave therapy and platelet-rich plasma.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy, safety, and outcomes of the combination of low ıntensity external shock wave therapy (Li-ESWT) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy in acute phase Peyronie's disease (PD).

Methods: The datas of patients admitted with acute phase Peyronie's between January 2014 and January 2022 were reviewed retrospectively. In total, we included total 159 patients who used combination of vitamin E 600 mg/day plus colchicine 1.

Correlation of resistive index of prostatic capsular artery to clinical symptoms in men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Objectives: To evaluate the relation between resistive index (RI) of prostatic capsular arteries by transrectal Doppler ultrasonography in chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) and its correlation with lower urinary tract symptoms, erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation parameters of CP/CPPS.

Methods: In total, we included 68 patients presenting with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome. We formed two groups, as Group 1 of 35 patients with a RI ≥ 0.

Papillary Urothelial Carcinoma Arising from Ureterocele: Is it a Rare Occurrence?

Various hydronephrotic, dysplastic or clinical pathologies can accompany ureterocele, which is a cystic dilatation of the intravesical part of the submucosal ureter. However, the development of cancer in the ureterocele is highly unusual. Hematuria is the most common sign, although imaging can also indicate alterations in the wall of the ureterocele.

A clinical trial comparing BiVap (Richard Wolf®) saline vaporization of the prostate vs. Twister Diode Laser System in the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction between prostate volume 90 to 150 ml.

Introduction: To evaluate the efficacy, safety and postoperative outcomes of the BiVap and Twister systems with benign prostatic obstruction (BPO) in prostate volüm between 90-150 ml.

Methods: In total, we included 131 patients treated with BiVap system (n = 68) and Twister system (n = 63). Postoperative complications including urinary tract infection, transient hematuria, severe dysuria and fever >38° C, urinary incontinence and urethral stricture were also noted.

Is Access Sheath Essential for Safety and Effective Retrograde Intrarenal Stone Surgery?

Objective: To evaluate the results of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) with flexible ureteroscope (f-URS), using ureteral access sheath and without the sheath.

Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Kesan State Hospital, Edirne, Turkey, between February 2019 and May 2020.
