Purpose: The primary aim of this study to comparison of reusable and disposable flexible ureterorenoscope (fURS) efficiency in lower pole renal stone disease management. In addition, the secondary goal of this study was to evaluate the factors affecting stone-free rates (SFR) in lower pole stones.
Materials And Methods: A prospective case-control study utilizing data from 122 consecutive ureteroscopic cases.
Purpose: In the present study, the impact of penile nerve block (PNB) on postoperative pain and Catheter-Related Bladder Discomfort (CRBD) in the transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) patients were evaluated.
Methods: Participants of the present study were selected from patients who performed TURP under spinal anaesthesia for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) between January 2018 and July 2020. The present study was planned as a single-centre, randomised-controlled prospective study in which the patients were divided into two groups.
Background: The primary objective of this study was to investigate the effect of low dose ionizing radiation exposure on thiol/disulfide homeostasis and ischemia modified albumin levels. The secondary objective is to compare thiol/disulfide homeostasis and ischemia modified albumin levels among the personnel exposed to low dose ionizing radiation in anesthesia application areas, in and out of the operation room.
Methods: The study included a total of 90 volunteers aged between 18 and 65 years old, with 45 personnel working in a setting with potential for radiation exposure (Exposed Group) and 45 personnel in a setting without radiation exposure (Control Group).
