It has been stated that the effectiveness of pectopexy method for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is similar to sacrocolpopexy. We aimed to search the effects of pectopexy method to the quality of life, sexual function and urinary incontinence. Thirty-one patients who were operated for POP with the technique of laparoscopic pectouteropexy/pectocolpopexy between January 2016 and November 2017 were included the study.

Material And Methods: Thirty eight patients (25 male, 13 female) with renal calculi and HK, underwent PCNL. After the amplatz sheath was inserted into the collecting system, the patients in group 1 (n:20) were taken to the 45 degrees side position to the side of the operation and patients in group 2 (n:18) were operated in classical prone position.
Purpose: The most common option for the management of urethral stricture (US) is direct visual internal urethrotomy (DVIU), because it is an easy and minimally invasive technique but the low success and high recurrence rates of this technique make urologists research for different types of therapeutic alternatives in stricture treatment. In this study we aimed to compare the internal urethrotomy with amplatz dilation for the treatment of male US.
Materials And Methods: A total of sixty patients, who have been operated due to urethral stricture were enrolled into this study.
Objective: To investigate the effect of prophylactic treatment with Shohl's solution on the rates of stone recurrence in paediatric patients with cystinuria.
Patients And Methods: Between June 2007 and October 2011, 185 patients aged 16 years and younger whose stones had been completely removed by percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) were assessed for metabolic risk factors. Seventeen (9%) patients with positive cyanide-nitroprusside tests (CNT) and cystine stones enrolled in this study, and a Shohl's solution was used for alkalinisation.
To describe the metabolic risk factors and investigate the effect of prophylaxis based on these factors on long-term recurrence of urolithiasis in pediatric patients with hypocitraturia. One-hundred and twenty-nine pediatric patients who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy between January 2008 and June 2011 were evaluated for metabolic risk factors. The patients with hypocitraturia were enrolled in this study and the data were analyzed using statistical methods for a mean period of 2 years for metabolic abnormalities, stone type, and the effect of potassium citrate prophylaxis on stone recurrence.

Materials And Methods: The data from 71 patients diagnosed with FG in a period of 17 years were retrospectively reviewed for the age of the patient, their history, predisposing factors, etiology, prodromal symptoms, FGSI, culture results, hospitalization period, surgical interventions, responses to the therapy and complications.
Results: All of the patients were Caucasian males, and the mean age was 61.
