Objective: To evaluate the quality and reliability of YouTube videos about chronic prostatitis.
Methods: YouTube search using the keywords "kronik prostatit" for Turkish videos and 'chronic prostatitis' for English videos were done.
Purpose: To find the machine learning (ML) method that has the highest accuracy in predicting the semen quality of men based on basic questionnaire data about lifestyle behavior.
Methods: The medical records of men whose semen was analyzed for any reason were collected. Those who had data about their lifestyle behaviors were included in the study.
Aim: To evaluate certain factors that may affect the decision-making process for the rational management approach in cases presenting with bilateral ureteral stones.
Methods: A total of 153 patients presenting with bilateral ureteral stones from 6 centers were evaluated and divided in three groups. Group 1 (n:21) Patients undergoing DJ stent insertion in one ureter and ureterorenoscopic (URS) lithotripsy for the contralateral ureteral stone.
The prevalence of penile calcification in the population remains uncertain. This retrospective multicenter study aimed to determine the prevalence and characteristics of penile calcification in a large cohort of male patients undergoing non-contrast pelvic tomography. A total of 14 545 scans obtained from 19 participating centers between 2016 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed within a 3-months period.

Patients And Methods: 80 patients who underwent TURBT for lateral wall-located primary bladder tumors under ONB from March, 2016 to November, 2019 were included in the present study. The patients were randomized equally into two groups; monopolar TUR (M-TURBT) and bipolar TUR (B-TURBT).
Objective: To evaluate the correlation between Visual Prostate Symptom Score (VPSS) and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and uroflowmetry parameters in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) with literature review.
Methods: Patients were pooled from 4 different urology clinics in Turkey and divided into 3 groups according to their educational level. The scores of IPSS and the VPSS questionnaire, assistance requirement, and completion time of the questionnaires were recorded.
Aims: To evaluate short-term efficacy and safety of fesoterodine fumarate in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms.
Methods: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. It also has an open-label extension phase.
Objective: To evaluate the histopathologic correlation of recently described subclassification of Bosniak category 3 cysts (3s and 3n).
Materials And Methods: A total of 106 patients who underwent partial/radical nephrectomy due to a complex renal cyst (≥Bosniak 3) were retrospectively reviewed. All the scans of the patients were reevaluated by 2 experienced uroradiologists.
Intrauterine device (IUD) insertion is a long-acting and one of the most effective modes of reversible contraception. Complications that most commonly arise following IUD insertion are failed insertion, pain, vasovagal reactions, infection, menstrual abnormalities, and expulsion. In this paper, we present the case of a woman who experienced hydronephrosis due to the migration of IUD into the ureter after 30 years of insertion.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients who had stone analysis, NCCT images, and underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy between 2013 and 2016. Patient characteristics, stone measurements on NCCT images, and stone analysis results were evaluated.
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate sexual functions and quality life of patients who are followed-up for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
Material And Methods: Between March 2015-June 2016, 50 patients underwent cystoscopy for NMIBC. At the end of the 1 year follow-up patients were assessed for sexual functions using 5-item version of the International Sexual Function Index (IIEF-5) for male and the Female Sexual Function Index(FSFI) for female; for quality of life (QoL) by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Non-Muscle Invasiv Bladder Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-NMIBC24) and for emotional status by Beck depression inventory.
Introduction: To compare the perioperative outcomes and complications of monopolar and bipolar transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
Materials And Methods: A total of 90 CAD patients with newly diagnosed bladder cancer who underwent TURBT were randomized into monopolar TURBT (M-TURBT) and bipolar TURBT (B-TURBT) groups. Primary outcome was safety of the procedures including obturator jerk, bladder perforation, clot retention, febrile urinary tract infection and TUR syndrome.
