Is there a nonnegligible effect of maximum standardized uptake value in the staging and management of prostate cancer with 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computerized tomography imaging? A single-center experience.

Purpose: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) has been shown to have significant success in detecting local and distant metastases that cannot not be detected by conventional imaging. Initial staging in intermediate- and high-risk patients with prostate cancer is important for management. In addition, PSMA uptake has been shown to have a relation with grade of disease, and thus could be considered a separate noninvasive prognostic factor.

Prognostic factors for surgical margin status and recurrence in partial nephrectomy.

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic factors affecting the surgical margin and recurrence in patients who underwent partial nephrectomy (PN) for renal masses.

Materials And Methods: Data of 125 patients who underwent open or laparoscopic PN because of renal mass between January 2006 and January 2019 were analysed retrospectively. Demographic data, habits, additional diseases, clinical and laboratory findings, operational data, the morphology of the tumour in computerised tomography or magnetic-resonance imaging and follow-up data were scanned and acquired via our hospital's system and archive.

Radical Cystectomy and Ileal Conduit Diversion for Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma With Sarcomatoid and Squamous Variants After Renal Transplantation.

Renal transplantation is the optimal treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. However, the incidence of malignancies, especially urological malignancies, increases after renal transplantation due to long-term immunosuppressive treatments. We report a case of radical cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion in a 39-year-old female patient who developed invasive bladder carcinoma with extravesical extension three years after renal transplantation.

Regression of the Sweet's syndrome after Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy: A bladder cancer case report.

The Sweet's syndrome is a rare dermatosis which can be related to underlying malignancies. In this case we presented a case, who applied to our clinic with severe dermatosis and hematuria. We diagnosed high grade non-muscle invasive bladder tumor, which was treated with transurethral resection of bladder-tumor and six cycle of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy.

The rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm at the level of horseshoe kidney: A case report.

Unlabelled: Kidney anomalies are always a challenge even for the most experienced vascular and urologic surgeons in the reconstruction of the abdominal aortic segment. In the literature, the most common anomalies of the kidney are the horseshoe kidney.

The Case: A 77-year-old male headed to the emergency department with complaints of acute abdominal pain and sudden onset of fatigue.

Sarcoidosis is a rare cause of infertility: A case report.

In this paper, we presented a patient, who applied to our clinic because of infertility. After an intensive investigation, we diagnosed systemic sarcoidosis with testicular involvement. Urogenital sarcoidosis is a rare and insidious condition, however, it can lead to infertility.

A purely penoscrotal approach: Reservoir placement of an inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) in an orthotopic neobladder patient. Case report.

Introduction: The inflatable penile prosthesis (IPP) is the last step in drug-resistant erectile dysfunction treatment. IPP implantation can be challenging, especially following a cystoprostatectomy with an orthotopic neobladder.
