Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated five different scoring systems (FGSI, UFGSI, ACCI, qSOFA, LRINEC) to predict outcomes in patients with Fournier gangrene, analyzing data from 311 patients between 2010 and 2024.
- Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that UFGSI and FGSI were the most effective scoring systems in predicting mortality, with higher values seen in non-survivor patients.
- ROC analysis determined optimal cut-off values for each scoring system, with UFGSI proving to be the most accurate for predicting mortality, achieving 84% sensitivity and 97% specificity at a score ≥12.
Introduction: This article attempts to provide a comprehensive review of the learning objectives and importance of the supine percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) technique.
Material Method: We retrospectively reviewed the cases of Supine PCNL between January 2018 and January 2024. We divided the groups into 3: residents between 2 and 3 years (Group 1), residents between 4 and 5 years (Group 2), and endourologist (Group 3).
Background: In this study, we aimed to show the protective effect of a single-dose Fosfomycin from infective complications against the standard usage of cephalosporine before retrograde intrarenal surgery.
Material: A total of 186 patients who underwent retrograde intrarenal surgery between 2020 and 2021, included the study. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1(n=49), patients who received an oral dose of 3g Fosfomycin tromethamine powder administered 4-6h before the operation; and group 2 (n=137): patients who received Cephalosporin 30min before surgery and an additional dose 6h after surgery.
Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the factors of prolonged urinary leakage (PUL) after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and develop a new and simple scoring system to predict it.
Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with renal stones who underwent PCNL at the University of Health Sciences Izmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital between April 2011 and January 2020. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of PUL, and their preoperative and perioperative data were compared.
Introduction And Hypothesis: We aimed to compare on-demand and continuous use of fesoterodine 4 mg concerning efficacy and adverse effects.
Methods: A total of 100 patients who were diagnosed with non-neurogenic overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome were included in the study. All patients were evaluated with MMSE, ICIQ-SF, SEAPI quality of health and OAB-V8 questionnaires, at the beginning, 1st month and 4th month.
