Background/aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the behavioral and emotional patterns of patients with nocturnal enuresis (NE) and compare them with those of healthy subjects.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-eight children and adolescents with monosymptomatic NE who were admitted to our hospital's pediatric and urologic outpatient clinics and 46 age-matched, healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. To compare behavioral patterns in these patients, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was used.

Adult urethral stricture: practice of Turkish urologists.

Objectives: To evaluate national practice patterns in the treatment of male anterior urethral strictures among Turkish urologists.

Materials And Methods: A survey form including 12 questions prepared to determine active Turkish urologists' approach to diagnosis and treatment of the adult urethral stricture (US) were filled out. Based on the survey results, the institutions which 218 urologists work and their years of expertise, methods they used for diagnosis and treatment, whether or not they perform open urethroplasty and timing of open urethroplasty were investigated.

Does resectoscope size play a role in formation of urethral stricture following transurethral prostate resection?

Background And Aims: To investigate the possible effect of resectoscope size on urethral stricture rate after monopolar TURP.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study of 71 men undergoing TURP was conducted at two centers' from November 2009 to May 2013. The patients were divided into one of two groups according to the resectoscope diameter used for TURP.

Evaluation of intraoral complications of buccal mucosa graft in augmentation urethroplasty.

Objective: To evaluate intraoral complications of buccal mucosa grafts harvested from one cheek, and used in augmentation urethroplasty.

Material And Methods: Twenty-one patients with anterior urethral strictures were included in our study. In twelve patients, dorsal onlay, in five patients ventral onlay and in four patients lateral onlay procedures were applied.

Plasmakinetic vaporization versus transurethral resection of the prostate: Six-year results.

Objective: Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is becoming more prevalent in parallel to the changing demographic structures of the community. Transurethral resection is still considered the most effective treatment. Due to advances in technology, different treatment modalities are being attempted.

Predictive values for extracapsular extension in prostate cancer patients with PSA values below 10 ng/mL.

Objective: We aimed to determine predictive values of extracapsular extension (ECE) in patients who had undergone radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values below 10 ng/mL.
