The Predictive Factors of Renal Loss After Iatrogenic Ureteral Avulsion in the Medicolegal Perspective.

Objectives: As an effective and minimally invasive technique, ureteroscopy has some potential intraoperative complications. Ureteral avulsion is among these complications, although rare. This study aimed to determine factors predicting nephrectomy by considering ureteral avulsion from a medicolegal perspective for the 1st time in the literature.

Dietary advices for patients with metabolic syndrome and obesity.

Obesity and metabolic syndrome are two important health problems that have increased in incidence in recent years in all around world. Stone occurrence and recurrence risks are increased in these diseases. Apart from general dietary recommendations for stone patients, metabolic evaluation and personalized dietary recommendations are important in these patients.

Attitudes of urologists on metabolic evaluation for urolithiasis: outcomes of a global survey from 57 countries.

Although stone disease is an important health problem with high incidence and recurrence rates, it is a preventable disease. Attitudes and practices of urologists regarding the prevention of recurrence continue to be a subject of debate. In this context, an online survey study was conducted involving 305 urologists from 57 different countries.

Supine Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy in a Patient with Solitary Lung: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) surgeries are performed with different patient positions, anesthesia methods and different-sized access sheaths in order to reduce the complication rates. Supine positioned PNL can be performed safely in the high-risk group patients with comorbidities. Herein, we present a patient who had a past surgical history of right pneumonectomy and underwent a supine PNL procedure under regional anesthesia for a staghorn renal stone in the right kidney.

Female Urethroplasty With Dorsal Onlay Labia Minora Graft: Technical Details and Initial Results.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the functional results of dorsal onlay labia minora graft urethroplasty in the treatment of female urethral strictures.

Materials And Methods: Data were retrospectively examined for 13 patients who underwent augmentation urethroplasty through the dorsal approach using labia minora grafts between September 2017 and January 2019. Demographic, intraoperative, and postoperative data and follow-up conditions were recorded for all patients.

Perineoscopic vesicourethral reconstruction: A novel surgical technique for anastomotic stricture following radical prostatectomy.

Objective: Vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis (VUAS) is frequently seen after prostate surgery because of various operative and postoperative factors. In this study, we aimed to present our results of perineoscopic bladder neck reconstruction, which is a new technique of the perineal approach in the treatment of patients with VUAS after prostate cancer surgery.

Material And Methods: Sixteen consecutive patients who underwent perineoscopic bladder neck reconstruction in our clinic between July 2017 and March 2019 were included in the study.

Gasless robotic perineal radical prostatectomy: Experience of the first 12 cases.

Objective: To present our results of first 12 patients on whom we performed gasless robotic perineal radical prostatectomy (r-PRP).

Methods: We performed gasless r-PRP on 12 patients between August 2018 and October 2018. Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging was performed forall patients to exclude local advanced disease.

Splenic Injury During Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy: A Case Report of a Rare Complication.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy has often been the preferred method for large and complex kidney stones. During percutaneous access to the collecting system, we encounter organ injuries due to anatomic neighborhoods. However, splenic injury is a relatively rare complication.

Perineoscopic radical prostatectomy: A novel surgical technique for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Objective: The objective of this article is to discuss the technical details of perineoscopic radical prostatectomy (perineoscopic-RP), which we performed for the first time as a surgical treatment for prostate cancer (PCa), and to present the outcomes of three patients who underwent this procedure.

Material And Methods: Using a robotic scope as an optical system, we performed perineoscopic-RP in 3 patients in March 2018. Technical details of the procedure have been explained step-by-step in this article.

Gasless robotic perineal radical prostatectomy: An initial experience.

Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the gold standard treatment method of localized prostate cancer. Today, this surgery is performed with open or minimally invasive methods. The history of open perineal RP (RPP) is very old, but it is not often preferred by urologists.

Comparison of cold-knife optical internal urethrotomy and holmium:YAG laser internal urethrotomy in bulbar urethral strictures.

Introduction: To compare the results of cold-knife optical internal urethrotomy (OIU) and Holmium:YAG laser internal urethrotomy (HIU) in primary bulbar urethral strictures.

Material And Methods: A total of 63 patients diagnosed with primary bulbar urethral stricture between August 2014 and September 2015 were assigned to the OIU (n = 29) and HIU (n = 34) groups. The demographic variables, biochemistry panels, and preoperative and postoperative uroflowmetry results including the maximum flow rate (Qmax) and mean flow rate (Qmean) values, retrograde urethrography, and diagnostic flexible urethroscopy findings were recorded prospectively.

Laparoscopic Ureterolithotomy with Concomitant Pyelolithotomy Using Flexible Cystoscope.

Purpose: To report and discuss the treatment of ipsilateral upper ureteral and renal stones by laparoscopic ureterolithotomy with concomitant pyelolithotomy using flexible cystoscope.

Materials And Methods: A total of 19 patients (14 men and 5 women) underwent laparoscopic retroperitoneal ureterolithotomy with concomitant pyelolithotomy using flexible cystoscope through the ureterotomy site. The mean age of the patients was 37.
