Comparison of corporal plication for the correction of congenital penile curvature in pre-pubertal and post-pubertal patients: Does age matter?

We retrospectively reviewed and compared the results of corporal plication procedures for the correction of congenital penile curvature (CPC) between pre-pubertal and post-pubertal boys and find whether age matters in the success rates. We reviewed the records of 32 patients with CPC without hypospadias treated by simple plication near the 12 o'clock position between 1998 and 2018 in our clinic. Patients under 13 years of age and not had puberty yet were accepted as pre-pubertal.

An evaluation of fecal incontinence in women with urinary incontinence.

Objective: To investigate the occurrence of and risk factors for fecal and/or gas incontinence in female patients having urinary incontinence.

Patients And Methods: 741 consecutive adult female patients presenting with urinary incontinence alone (group 1, n = 700) or urinary incontinence with fecal and/or gas incontinence (group 2, n = 41) were enrolled into the study. As potential risk factors for fecal and/or gas incontinence in this population, the following variables were investigated: age, body mass index, type of urinary incontinence, childbirth history, menopausal symptoms, history of pelvic surgery, neurological disease, diabetes mellitus, tobacco use, constipation, cystocele, rectocele.

Effect of different analgesics on pain relief during extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

Background/aim: The aim of this study was  to compare  three drugs for pain relief during shock wave lithotripsy (SWL).

Materials And Methods: Seventy six male patients that were treated for renal stones with SWL were included in this study. They were randomized into four groups.

A novel surgical technique for preserving the bladder neck during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: preliminary results.

Purpose: To describe our new surgical technique for preserving the bladder neck during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) and to present the anatomy between the bladder neck and prostate.

Methods: Between December 2012 and May 2014, 52 RALPs were performed at our institute. Demographic, perioperative, and postoperative data were recorded.

Laparoscopic nephropexy with polymer clips.

Background And Objectives: We present our initial experience and long-term results with transperitoneal laparoscopic nephropexy with nonabsorbable polymer clips.

Methods: Seven patients aged 34 to 47 years previously diagnosed with mobile kidney presented with chronic pain refractory to analgesics and underwent a transperitoneal laparoscopic nephropexy procedure with nonabsorbable polymer clips by fixing the perirenal tissue to the transversus abdominis fascia and triangular ligament.

Results: Mean operation time was 20 minutes.
