Diagnosis and Management of Ureteropelvic Obstruction in Kidney Transplant Recipients and Outcomes of Foley Y-V Pyeloplasty.

Objectives: To evaluate the etiology and diagnostic tools for ureteropelvic obstruction in kidney transplant recipients, we investigated the short-term and long-term outcomes of Foley Y-V pyeloplasty.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 10 patients who underwent kidney transplant followed by additional interventions to treat obstructive ureteral pathologies between 2016 and 2020. We enrolled 4 patients who had received intervention to treat ureteropelvic obstruction.

Correlation between Prostate Cancer Positive Cores and 68Ga-PSMA Distribution in Prostate Gland.

Introduction: The purpose of our study was to evaluate reliability of 68Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (68Ga-PSMA PET/CT) and identify appropriate SUVmax cutoff values in order to use for diagnosis, especially in patients remained clinically suspicious for prostate cancer (PCa).

Methods: Eighty-four patients applied 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT subsequent to transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-bx) involved in this study retrospectively. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT imagings were analyzed by a nuclear medicine physician, and region of interests were drawn manually in prostate diagrams including 6 segments for each patient.

Does STING failure affect short-term graft functions in renal transplant patients: a single-center study.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to evaluate outcomes of symptomatic VUR treatment in transplant patients, compare open and endoscopic approaches in terms of graft functions, success rates, complications and recurrent UTIs.

Methods: 67 patients who undergone only STING and STING followed redo UNC due to symptomatic VUR after kidney transplantation were included into the investigation. Patients who had lower urinary tract dysfunctions were excluded from the trial.

Treatment of Vesicoureteral Reflux Detected After Renal Transplant in Pediatric Patients: A Single-Center Experience.

Objective: In children who undergo renal transplant, vesicoureteral reflux on the transplanted kidney is a serious complication that may result in organ loss. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the results of endoscopic and open surgical techniques in the treatment of patients with recurrent urinary tract infections and vesicoureteral reflux after renal transplant.

Material And Methods: The files of pediatric patients who underwent renal transplant in our hospital between January 2016 and January 2019 were evaluated retrospectively.

Isolated Penile Fournier's Gangrene: A Rare Case.

Fournier's gangrene is necrotizing fasciitis involving the penis, scrotum, or perineal region. This condition is associated with a high mortality rate and requires aggressive debridement of necrotic tissues. It is mainly seen in elderly, immune-suppressed, diabetic patients, or patients with long-term urinary catheterization.

Does The Learning Curve Affect the Surgical, Functional, and Oncologic Outcomes in Bilateral Nerve-Sparing Robot Assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy?

Introduction Nowadays, the expectations for functional prostatectomy outcomes are quite high. Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP) has become an increasingly common treatment option for men with localized prostate cancer. In this study, we aimed to present the results of our bilateral nerve-sparing RALRP procedure and to evaluate the effects of the learning curve (LC) on perioperative data, early oncologic, and functional outcomes.
