Background: The study aimed at evaluating the role of thiol-disulphide balance parameters [native thiol (SH), total thiol (SH + SS), disulphide (SS), disulphide/native thiol ratio (% SS/SH), disulphide/total thiol ratio (% SS/Total Thiol) and native thiol/total thiol ratio (%SH/Total Thiol)], which are important oxidative stress markers in the congenital ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) stenosis, in the diagnosis of the disease, and its role in determining the need for surgery and follow-up.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 30 children diagnosed with congenital intrinsic ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and a control group of 30 healthy children admitted to the pediatric clinic between January 2016 and February 2017. The children with UPJO underwent laparoscopic dismembered pyeloplasty.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the debate between performing orchiectomy or orchidopexy after testicular torsion, focusing on the need for objective criteria to define testicular viability.
- Researchers analyzed 289 cases across 14 centers, finding that 8.8% of testes showed reversible grade 1 injuries despite adverse clinical findings like prolonged symptoms.
- The results suggest the potential for testicular fixation, as many patients with severe symptoms did not have conclusive high-grade injuries, indicating a need for improved criteria in evaluating testicular health post-torsion.*
Purpose: Antenatal auto-amputation of the ovary is an extremely rare event, and its diagnosis is difficult. We aimed to retrospectively review the cases with antenatal auto-amputation, where the diagnosis was made based on detection of free-floating cyst during surgery.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with auto-amputated ovary during the surgery between 2012 and 2021 were included in the study.
