Objective: In this study we aimed to evaluate intraoperative and postoperative complications which developed according to pre-operative American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) risk criteria in patients who had undergone percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL).
Material And Methods: Five hundred and sixty patients who had undergone PNL between 2002 and 2014 were included in the study. Patients operated on the ipsilateral kidney, those with solitary kidney or the cases who had previously undergone more than one access were excluded from this study.
Purpose: We assessed and evaluated attitudes and knowledge regarding ionizing radiation of urology surgery room staff.
Materials And Methods: A questionnaire was sent by e-mail to urology surgery room personnel in Turkey, between June and August 2013. The questionnaire included demographic questions and questions regarding radiation exposure and protection.
Objective: To determine the impact of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) on global and regional renal function in children.
Methods: In total, 40 children (41 renal units) undergoing PNL were included in this prospective study. All patients were evaluated using quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography (QSPECT) with technetium-99 m-dimercaptosuccinic acid ((99m)Tc-DMSA) examinations before and 3 months after surgery.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the analgesic efficacy and safety of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), administered as intramuscular diclofenac in comparison with intravenous paracetamol after transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
Materials And Methods: Fifty men, aged 55 to 75 years, undergoing TURP at our hospital were included in this study. Patients were divided randomly and prospectively into two groups (25 patients in each group).
Purpose: We evaluated the effects of previous open renal surgery and unsuccessful extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) treatment on the performance and outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Patients And Methods: A total of 410 consecutive PCNL procedures for renal calculi were performed at our institution from November 2006 to March 2009. Of these 410 patients, 86 (20.
Objectives: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of transurethral holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser cystolithotripsy under local anesthesia in selected patients.
Methods: Thirteen consecutive male patients with large bladder calculi (3 cm or greater) caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia underwent transurethral cystolithotripsy using holmium:YAG laser under local anesthesia. The operation was performed with all the patients in the lithotomy position (except 3 with pelvic prosthesis).
