Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the additive transurethral anesthetic agent to transrectal anesthetic agent.
Methods: Transrectal ultrasound-guided 12 core prostate biopsy planned, 237 patients included in our study. The patients randomly divided into two groups.
Objectives: Fournier's gangrene (FG) is a rapidly progressive infection that requires emergent intervention. Wound closure is an important treatment step after surgery, and vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) can be preferred as an alternative method for wound closure. FG severity index (FGSI) scales that can be developed to evaluate the prognosis in FG.

Material And Methods: Data were retrospectively analyzed from 452 patients who had undergone transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) between the years 2002, and 2010 for primary or recurrent NMIBC. Our study had a retrospective design but based on prospective cohort study.
Introduction: We aimed to evaluate the long-term recurrence and progression rates in a Turkish population with high-grade Ta and T1 bladder cancer and to determine malign potential of high-grade Ta bladder cancer.
Methods: 191 patients who had non-invasive bladder cancer were evaluated at a single institution between 2005 and 2010. Median follow-up was 55.
Leydig cell tumors are rare testicular tumors of the male gonadal interstitium. Although uncommon, Leydig cell testicular neoplasms are the most common sex cord-stromal tumors and comprise 1-3% of all testicular neoplasms. This tumor is always benign in children and approximately 90% are benign in adults.

The wide spectrum of bacterial flora of the perineum, difficulty in providing immobilisation, and obtaining a natural contour of the testes make testicular cover very difficult. Various methods have been reported to cover the penoscrotal area, including skin grafting, transposing them to medial thigh skin, and use of local fasciocutaneous or musculocutaneous flaps.

Retrograde venous route, retrograde lymphatic route, arterial spread, direct extension, implantation and secondary to instrumentation are the mechanisms of metastasis.

Even if prognosis is considered as good, a group with bad prognosis still remains. We aimed to evaluate whether two courses of chemotherapy after orchiectomy in patients with clinical stage I, non-seminomatous germ cell testicular tumour at high risk of relapse, will spare patients additional chemotherapy or surgery.

The cystoscopic follow-up of superficial bladder cancer accounts for a considerable workload for the urologist and is also an invasive procedure with high costs. We retrospectively reviewed our experience to determine any possible criteria which can lead to reduce the frequency of check cystoscopy.

The determination of sensitive prognostic factors for transitional cell carcinoma is very important. Therefore e-cadherin and p53 immunohistochemical activity can be used with other prognostic factors.

Measurement of testicular volume is a more readily available method of estimating spermatogenesis in adolescence. Traditionally, testicular volumes have been measured with different type of orchidometers or calipers. The most widely used orchidometer is the Prader orchidometer introduced in 1966.

We present a 62-year-old man with a history of noticeably abdominal distension, proved by surgery to be caused by carcinosarcoma of the renal pelvis and urinary bladder, occupying the entire left abdominal flank. We also illustrate the appearance of this rare entity on sonography and computed tomography.

We report a case of giant hydronephrosis in a 12-year-old boy presented with abdominal distension. Radiological features of this rare entity are discussed with an overview of sonographic findings, especially including CT and MR appearances.
