Ventral-approach augmented nontransected anastomotic (vANTA) urethroplasty for bulbar urethral strictures: a single-center experience.

Background/aim: This study describes ventral-approach augmented nontransected anastomotic (vANTA) urethroplasty and presents the preliminary functional results of patients treated with this technique.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-three patients who underwent vANTA urethroplasty were included in the study. Stricture location, stricture length, preoperative uroflowmetry parameters (maximum flow rate (Qmax) and mean flow rate (Qmean)), preoperative International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF)-5 scores, operation time, postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and follow-up periods were recorded.

Zero ischemia robotic partial nephrectomy: Oncological and functional outcomes of a multicenter study.

Background: The functional and oncological outcomes of zero ischemia robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) procedures were evaluated.

Methods: A total of 56 patients underwent zero ischemia RPN transperitoneally, and their data were collected prospectively. Radius, exo/endophytic, nearness, anterior/posterior, location (R.

Detection of human papillomavirus subtypes harbored in the foreskin of asymptomatic boys: Controlled study.

Introduction: Human papillomavirus infection (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections and can cause penile and anal cancer in men, and invasive cervical cancer in women.

Objective: To evaulate the colonization of 32 HPV subtypes in the foreskin of boys.

Study Design: A prospective analysis was made of the data of 62 healthy boys who had undergone standard circumcision.

The change in Thiol-Disulphide Homeostasis levels as an oxidative stress marker after varicocelectomy: Is there a relationship with sperm parameters?

One of the most important causes of varicocele-related infertility is oxidative stress (OS). One of the markers considered as an indicator of OS is thiol-disulphide homeostasis (TDH). Based on the hypothesis that OS should decrease after varicocelectomy in the light of this information, in our current study, we investigated the relationship between TDH levels and sperm parameters.

Relationship between oxidative stress and detrussor overactivity: a case control study.

Purpose: We analyzed the role of oxidative stress in detrusor overactivity (DO) by measuring serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant status (TOS), binding capacity of exogenous cobalt to human albumin (IMA), serum advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), paraoxonase (PON), and arylesterase.

Materials And Methods: The study included 38 female patients diagnosed with DO and 29 healthy female subjects forming the control group. Serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant status (TOS), binding capacity of exogenous cobalt to human albumin (IMA), serum advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), paraoxonase (PON), and arylesterase were analyzed.
