Reconstruction of Scrotal Skin Defects Using Bilobed Pudendal Flap.

Background: Due to its unique cosmetic appearance and functioning, scrotal skin offers a major clinical challenge in terms of reconstruction. Thus, successful reconstruction of scrotal skin should include both provision of pliable texture and protection of testicular functions. Skin grafts and flaps are important options for such reconstruction; however, they both have unique features that bring about specific limitations and specific problems.

Hydrocele with Paratesticular Liposarcoma.

Paratesticular liposarcoma (PLS) is a rare type of genitourinary malignancy in the spermatic cord presenting as scrotal swelling. In this case study, we report an 82-year male who presented with prolonged left scrotal swelling and pain that did not respond to analgesic treatment for one week. His ultrasound confirmed increased fluid content in the left scrotal compartment in the form of septated hydrocele, and hydrocelectomy was planned.

Comparison of retrograde intrarenal surgery and percutaneous nephrolithotomy in multiple calyceal stones: A match pair analysis of 190 cases.

Objectives: The current nephrolithia-sis guidelines have no recommendation about multiple calyceal stones treatment. We aimed to compare the results of two effective methods of RIRS and PNL operations in the treatment of multicalyx stones.

Methods: Data of patients who underwent RIRS or PNL for multicalyx stones between September 2014 and May 2019 in our clinic were evaluated retrospectively.

The effect of fear of covid-19 transmission on male sexual behaviour: A cross-sectional survey study.

Introduction: In December 2019, cases of pneumonia, a new type of corona virus (SARS-CoV-2), began to be reported in Wuhan, China. We aimed to evaluate changes in sexual behaviour of men in the Covid-19 outbreak in Turkey.

Material-method: In our cross-sectional and descriptive study, an online questionnaire evaluating sexual habits during the Covid-19 outbreak was conducted on the men living in the Western Black Sea Region between 8 and 25 June6 2020.

Outcomes with ureteral access sheath in retrograde intrarenal surgery: a retrospective comparative analysis.

Background: Retrograde intrarenal surgery is used for treatment of urinary system stones. The ureteral access sheath (UAS) is used to decrease intrapelvic pressure, help with access of multiple instruments, and facilitate drainage and removal of the fragmented stones.

Objective: Assess the effect of the UAS on the outcomes of retrograde intrarenal surgery.

Safety and efficacy of retrograde intrarenal surgery in geriatric patients by age groups.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of aging on the success rate of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and the development of medical and surgical complications by dividing geriatric patients into subgroups based on their chronological age.

Method: Data of the patients who underwent RIRS due to kidney stones at our clinic between June 2014 and January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into three groups based on age: 65-74 years (Group 1), 75-84 years (Group 2), and ≥ 85 years (Group 3).

Effect of Puppet Show on Children's anxiety and pain levels during the circumcision operation: A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Surgical procedures are the most common causes of anxiety and pain in hospitalized children. One of the most common surgical procedures for children is circumcision. Surgical procedures such as circumcision in hospitals are the most common causes of pain, fear, and anxiety in children.

Ureteral Access Sheath Applicatıon Without Fluoroscopy in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery.

Objective: To compare the results and complications of the two techniques of ureteral access sheath application, with and without using fluoroscopy.

Study Design: A comparative study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Urology, Karabuk University Medical Faculty Training and Research Hospital and Ankara Diskapi Yildirim Beyazid Training and Research Hospital between April 2014 and January 2018.

A different perspective for morbidity related to Fournier's gangrene: which scoring system is more reliable to predict requirement of skin graft and flaps in survivors of Fournier's gangrene?

Purpose: To identify the prognostic factors that might predict morbidity related to Fournier's gangrene (FG) and particularly requirement of skin grafting and flaps. We also evaluated the validities of different severity indexes.

Methods: Thirty male patients with complete data who were treated for FG between January 2012 and December 2018 were retrospectively evaluated.

Fixation of the glans penis and urethral catheter to the abdominal skin to avoid wound dehiscence after a hypospadias surgery: A comparative study.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of glanular and urethral catheter fixation to the abdominal skin on wound dehiscence.

Material And Methods: After a standard tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIPU) for hypospadias repair, 128 patients were divided into two groups based on glanular and urethral catheter fixation to the abdominal skin as follows: no glanular and urethral catheter fixation (Group A) and glanular and urethral catheter fixation (Group B). Groups A and B included 61 and 67 patients, respectively.

Penile degloving and dorsal dartos flap rotation approach for the management of isolated penile torsion.

Objective: Penile torsion is a counterclockwise rotational anomaly of the penile shaft or glans. We aimed to evaluate the outcomes of penile degloving and dorsal dartos flap rotation used for the repair of isolated penil torsion.

Material And Methods: During evaluation of the patients admitted to our polyclinic for circumcision between January 2013-December 2014, 5 cases of isolated penile torsion were determined.
