Objective: To present a nation-wide analysis of the workload of urology departments in Turkey week-by-week during Covid-19 pandemic.
Methodology: The centres participating in the study were divided into three groups as tertiary referral centres, state hospitals and private practice hospitals. The number of outpatients, inpatients, daily interventions and urological surgeries were recorded prospectively between 9-March-2020 and 31-May-2020.
To predict local invasive disease before retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), the correlation of perineural invasion (PNI) on prostate needle biopsy (PNB) and RRP pathology data and the effect of PNI on biochemical recurrence (BR) were researched. For patients with RRP performed between 2005 and 2014, predictive and pathologic prognostic factors were assessed. Initially all and D'Amico intermediate-risk group patients were comparatively assessed in terms of being T2 or T3 stage on RRP pathology, positive or negative for PNI presence on PNB and positive or negative BR situation.

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of pelvic biometric measurements, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue areas on trifecta outcome (cancer control, continence and potency) and surgical margin status after open RP.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 270 patients who were diagnosed with clinically localized prostate cancer between 2005 and 2011 and underwent computed tomography imaging before RP.
