Comparing scoring systems for Fournier gangrenes in predicting morbidity and mortality: Is FGSI still reliable?

Introduction: Compare scoring systems using Fournier gangrene severity index (FGSI), Uludag Fournier gangrene severity index (UFGSI), Laboratory Risk Indicator for Necrotizing Fasciitis (LRINEC), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) to predict the outcome of patients with Fournier gangrene.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study that includes FG patients from 2012 to 2021. NLR, FGSI, UFGSI, and LRINEC values were calculated and analyzed.

Impact of statin on renal cell carcinoma patients undergoing nephrectomy. Does it affect cancer progression and improves survival? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is regarded as one of the most common malignant tumors. Various concomitant medications in RCC patients undergoing surgery are investigated to explore the potential for improving survival and preventing disease recurrence, including statin. It has been observed that these drugs induce apoptosis, thereby inhibiting tumor growth and angiogenesis.

Male genital trauma caused by self-mutilation: A first case series report in Indonesia.

Introduction And Importance: Genital self-mutilation (GSM) is a rare phenomenon with a spectrum ranging from a superficial laceration to complete amputation of the external genitalia. These could result in severe impairment of genitourinary functions. Psychotic disorder adds to the complexity of the patients.

Our surgical approach towards the treatment of urethrocele and urethral fistula.

A new technique, described in the text, has been elaborated inspired by that of Monseur (1968) for urethral techniques. It has been performed with success in three paraplegics and in one incomplete tetraparesis. The plastic reconstruction of the diseased part of the urethra after excision of the stenosis and a fistula or diverticula by rotation and fixation to the subcavernal groove creates, in fact, an enlarged neo-urethra rendering the recurrence of the primary lesion practically impossible.

Traumatic rupture of the aorta and paraplegia.

During the past 10 years, 15 traumatic ruptures of the aorta isthmus have been diagnosed. The most likely mechanism is that of a brutal deceleration. Three patients developed a complete mid-thoracic flaccid paraplegia.

Impairment of erection after external sphincter resection.

Two cases of temporary loss of reflex erectile activity after transurethral bladder-neck and external sphincter resection are reported in two tetraplegics. Only recently such occurrences have been reported in the literature associated with external sphincterotomy. The reasons are discussed and most likely direct damage to erectile tissues is the cause of such a complication.
