Failure of ureteral access sheath insertion in primary flexible ureteroscopy for renal stones: is there any relation with inflammation?

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between failure to insert a ureteral access sheath (UAS) with inflammation and other clinical parameters in patients treated with flexible ureteroscopy for renal stones.

Methods: This study included patients who underwent flexible ureteroscopy for the treatment of renal stones in our centre between 2015 and 2020. Patients who underwent any surgical procedure on the ipsilateral ureter and had a history of spontaneous stone passage were excluded.

The impact of the pelvicalyceal anatomy characteristics on the prediction of flexible ureteroscopy outcomes.

Background: The anatomical architecture is a prominent factor in the outcomes of flexible ureteroscopy (FURS).

Aims And Objectives: The aim to regard the success of procedures based on Pelvicalyceal body that called Sampaio classification system.

Materials And Methods: A total of 125 FURS procedures were reviewed between December 2012 and December 2016 in our department.

The role of preoperative ultrasound in the diagnosis of penile fractures and the effect of tunica defect length on postoperative functional outcomes.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the rate of tunica defect detection by postoperative penile ultrasound (US) and the effect of tunica defect length (TDL) on functional outcomes.

Methods: Forty-six patients who underwent early penile fracture surgery in our hospital between July 2010 and December 2018 were included in the study. Each diagnosis was made via history, physical examination and US.

Sexual intercourse before exercise has a detrimental effect on lower extremity muscle strength in men.

Introduction: The question of whether sexual intercourse can harm athletic performance is a long-debated topic since first sport competitions were invented. Therefore, due to the lack of solid evidence, we aimed to evaluate the effects of sexual intercourse on muscle training performance.

Materials And Methods: Physically and sexually active, 50 men (age=29.

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.

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. There is no consensus about surgical techniques for placement of an IPP reservoir in such patients.

Plication without degloving - Safe and effective approach for correcting lateral and dorsal penile curvature: Case series.

Penile curvature deformities are often manageable with surgical reconstruction methods. We aimed to show the safety and efficacy of ventral and dorsal plication techniques without degloving in our two patients who have penile curvature. Two young adults, aged 20 and 23 years, presented to our clinic with lateral and dorsal penile curvatures.

The rarest phenomenon of flexible ureterolithotripsy: Kidney stone in supernumerary type combination with a horseshoe kidney.

The horseshoe kidney (HSK) is common and supernumerary kidney is the rarest developmental anomaly of the urogenital system. The supernumerary kidney in a HSK conjunction is extremely rare, and prevalence of it is unknown. A review of literature, there have been a few case reports about the supernumerary and HSK combination, however, none of which also had a concomitant kidney stone and obstructive pathology.
