Dopamine is an important regulator of male sexual function and behaviour. Decreased levels of this substance have been observed in blood and seminal plasma of infertile men. Hence, this study was carried out to determine the impact of varicocelectomy on 24-hr urine dopamine values in patients with both premature ejaculation (PE) and varicocele.

Objective: Regarding technical difficulties that obese body habitus might impose to percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) success and higher risk of peri-operative complications in this group of patients, we decided to retrospectively gather data from our patients during past 8 years to determine the stone free and complication rates.

Material And Methods: Between January 2007-December 2015, seventy-eight obese patients with body mass index over 35 who had indication for PNL including stones larger than 2 cm in pelvi-calyceal system or smaller extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) resistant stones or who were not a fit candidate for ESWL due to increased skin to target distance, with no contraindication of PNL (including bleeding diathesis, inability to be positioned in prone) were enrolled. They were randomly assigned to group 1 (standard PNL with nephrostomy and ureteral stent) or group 2 (totally tubeless PNL with no ureteral stent and no nephrostomy).

Background: The impact of standard percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) on short or long-term renal function has been evaluated in many studies. We evaluated the effect of tubeless PCNL on early renal function.

Materials And Methods: A total of 117 patients referring to our university center for PCNL were enrolled in the study if they were matched with the inclusion criteria.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and feasibility of percutaneous tract dilation by the one-stage method in preschool children.

Methods: Between April 2009 and February 2013, all preschool (<6 years) children who were candidates for percutaneous nephrolithotomy were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients were randomly assigned to dilation by serial metallic dilators (group I, 31 patients) or dilation by one-stage Amplatz according to Frattini et al.

Objective: A probable association has been proposed between sexual intercourse and hematuria and proteinuria in either sex. The present study was to assess the role of sexual intercourse in hematuria and proteinuria in immediate dipstick urine test and morning urine sample analysis and whether sexual intercourse might be a cause of microscopic hematuria and proteinuria.

Material And Methods: Forty-two healthy married adult volunteers (27 male and 15 female; age range 20-48) were enrolled in a prospective clinical trial.

Introduction: Our aim was to study the changes in resistive index (RI) of the ipsilateral and contralateral kidneys following electromagnetic extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) of the kidney calculi.

Materials And Methods: Using color Doppler ultrasonography, the RI was determined in 21 patients with unilateral caliceal and pelvic kidney calculi. The RI of the interlobar renal arteries were measured for the regions near and far from the calculi (distance, less and more than 2 cm), before, 30 minutes after, and 1 week after SWL.

Purpose: We evaluated the impact of fasting on the effectiveness of shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) in patients with renal calculi.

Patients And Methods: The study was a randomized controlled trial for patients with renal stones. Between May 2005 and November 2006, patients (n = 97) with a single radio-opaque renal stone (7-21 mm) who were candidates for SWL were enrolled.
