A Rare Case of Post-pubertal Pure Yolk-sac Tumour Incidentally Diagnosed after Surgical Intervention for Fournier's Gangrene.

The testicular tumour is the most common solid malignancy in males between the ages of 15 and 35 years. Testicular tumours most commonly present with a painless testicular mass. Fournier's gangrene is necrotising fasciitis of the genital, perineal, and perianal region characterized by the microvascular thrombosis and skin necrosis, and is most commonly seen in elderly males with the comorbid conditions.

Autoaugmentation: A Feasible Option before Ileal Augmentation in Selected Cases.

Purpose:  To evaluate the long-term outcomes of autoaugmentation (AA) in pediatric population.

Materials And Methods:  The data of 59 patients (32 females and 27 males) who underwent AA between 1993 and 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. During postoperative follow-up, deterioration on renal scan and/or nonimproved hydronephrosis (HN) were described as upper urinary tract (UUT) impairment.

Factors associated with the stone-free status after retrograde intrarenal surgery in children.

Introduction: Paediatric urolithiasis has a recurrent nature because it is frequently associated with metabolic or anatomical disorders or infectious conditions. The rising incidence of the disease with its recurrent nature emphasises the need for minimally invasive therapeutic options. In this study, we aimed to evaluate efficacy and factors affecting the success of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in children.

Erectile dysfunction management: a critical appraisal of clinical practice guidelines with the AGREE II instrument.

Our study aimed to assess the methodological strengths and weaknesses of erectile dysfunction clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for individuals using the AGREE II tool. Erectile dysfunction related CPGs were identified from three databases: the National Guideline Clearinghouse, the Guidelines International Network, and PubMed between 2000 and 2020. We designed an independent assessment for each of the erectile dysfunction related CPGs using the AGREE II tool.

Changes in percutaneous approach to kidney stones in children: A single institute experience over 500 cases.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the changes in patient age and stone sizes with technological advancement over time.

Methods: This study was conducted retrospectively with 404 patients (504 renal units) who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) between January 1997 and June 2020. Patient characteristics and trends on instrument preferences were investigated.

Comparison of Efficiency and Safety of Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery and Micropercutaneous Nephrolithotomy in Pediatric Kidney Stones Smaller than 2 cm: A Prospective Cohort Study.

To compare the safety and efficacy of two minimally invasive surgical techniques used for pediatric stone disease: retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and micropercutaneous nephrolithotomy (micro-PCNL). A prospective study was designed to include children aged <15 years with a single stone <20 mm. Sixty-four patients were assigned to undergo either an RIRS or a micro-PCNL (1:1 ratio).

The stone crescent of Anatolia.

Objectives: To assess the largest stone composition data available and to present the variations in the stone composition according to gender and different climatic environments in Turkey.

Methodology: Data for a total of 24 768 urinary stone patients from the Turkish Mineral Research and Exploration Institute were evaluated. X-ray diffraction crystallography was used for analysis and the Köppen-Trewartha classification was used to assess the climatic features of the cities.

Determination of risk factors for progression in patients with viable tumor at post-chemotherapy lymph node dissection due to disseminated non-seminomatous germ-cell tumors.

Background: To assess the clinical variables that effect progression in patients with viable tumor after post-chemotherapy lymph node dissection due to disseminated non-seminomatous germ-cell tumors.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of 32 patients with viable tumor after PC-RPLND, operated between 1990 and 2016. Patients were categorized into 2 groups as favorable and non-favorable (intermedia and poor) according to International Germ Cell Consensus Classification (IGCCC).

Shockwave lithotripsy for kidney stones as a first-line therapy in children younger than 2 years.

Background: The incidence of urolithiasis in children has risen worldwide over the last decades with geographical varieties. As pediatric patients begin forming stones earlier in life, they have high risk of recurrence. Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) is a non-invasive treatment modality that is preferred in the management of pediatric stones.

Serum sphingosine-1-phosphate levels in bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis patients: could it help in diagnosis?

Purpose: To find if there is any potential benefit of serum Sphingosine-1-Phosphate (S1P) level in the diagnosis of Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis (BPS/IC).

Methods And Materials: Patients newly or previously diagnosed with BPS/IC between September 2017 and December 2018 were included. Healthy individuals who volunteered to enter the study were included as control group.
