Urodynamic and Frequency-Volume Chart Parameters Influencing Anticholinergic Resistance in Patients With Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity.

Purpose: Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDOA) is characterized by involuntary detrusor muscle contractions during bladder filling in patients with neurological disorders. Anticholinergic therapy is the primary treatment; however, the reasons for treatment resistance in NDOA are not well understood. This study aimed to identify predictors of treatment failure by comparing urodynamic and frequency-volume chart data between patients with NDOA who respond and patients who do not respond to anticholinergic therapy.

Obturator Nerve Block Performed Blinded Versus by Ultrasound-guidence for Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumors: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: The primary outcome of this study is to compare the success rates of ONB techniques performed either with ultrasound guidance or with the blind technique. The second outcome is to compare the incidences of perioperative bleeding and the presence of recurrent tumors in the control cystoscopy performed in the 3rd postoperative month in both groups.

Materials And Methods: The study was conducted in the urology operating room of Mugla Sitki Kocman Training and Research Hospital between December 2019 and March 2023.

Is there a difference in fecal microbiota of children with and without voiding dysfunction?

Objective: Voiding dysfunction (VD), which encompasses many urinary symptoms that are not caused by neurological or anatomical anomalies, is a frequently encountered functional urinary bladder disorder in children. It was reported that there was an association between lower urinary tract symptoms and fecal microbiota in adult patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the differences in fecal microbiota between children with or without VD.

Can Aortic and Renal Arteries Calcium Scores Be New Factors to Predict Post-Operative Renal Function After Nephron Sparing Surgery?

Introduction: This study aims to investigate whether the calcification of renal arteries and aorta may be risk factors for developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) after Nephron sparing surgery (NSS).

Materials And Methods: The patients that underwent either open or laparoscopic NSS from 2000 to 2019 in 4 different centers were retrospectively assessed. Of these patients, 328 had a non-contrast-enhanced computer tomography.
