Aim: To evaluate certain factors that may affect the decision-making process for the rational management approach in cases presenting with bilateral ureteral stones.
Methods: A total of 153 patients presenting with bilateral ureteral stones from 6 centers were evaluated and divided in three groups. Group 1 (n:21) Patients undergoing DJ stent insertion in one ureter and ureterorenoscopic (URS) lithotripsy for the contralateral ureteral stone.
Purpose: To evaluate the role of certain radiological parameters and patient characteristics in predicting the success of endoscopic treatment in ureteral stricture disease.
Methods: Fifty one adult patients with ureteral stricture disease (< 1 cm) after developing due to upper ureteral stones with ureteroscopic laser disintegration were included and in addition to stone and patient parameters, radiological parameters including ureteral wall thickness (UWT) at the impacted stone site were also measured on computed tomography (CT) images. Patients were divided into two groups: Group 1: Patients with endoscopic treatment success and Group 2: Patients with endoscopic treatment failure.
Objective: We aimed to investigate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and prostate cancer (PCa) in patients undergoing prostate biopsy.
Materials And Methods: Between January 2018 and December 2022, MetS was investigated according to Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria in men who underwent prostate biopsy with transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). Clinicopathological factors such as, digital rectal examination (DRE), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), prostate volume, waist circumference, body mass index (BMI), age, blood pressure, testosterone, lipid profiles, fasting blood glucose level, C-reactive protein (CRP) and MetS were analyzed.
Purpose: To evaluate the possible effect of constipation on the acute urinary retention (AUR) after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS PB).
Materials And Methods: A total of 1,167 patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >4 ng/mL and/or abnormal digital rectal examination underwent a standard 12 core transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy in our hospital and the findings were examined prospectively. Chronic constipation (CC) was defined according to the Rome IV criteria.
Background: Our aim was to evaluate the educational value of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) videos on YouTube.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted for TURP videos on YouTube. Based on the Laparoscopic Surgery Video Educational Guidelines we created a checklist which includes 20 items for evaluation of the videos.
