[Multicentric Screening of Local Antibiotic Resistance in Uncomplicated Urinary System Infections: 1850 Patients from 37 Centers].

This study was aimed to identify the most frequently observed pathogens in uncomplicated urinary tract infections from outpatient urinary isolates obtained across seven different geographical regions in Türkiye and to determine whether the antibiotic resistance rates of these pathogens differ significantly between these regions. The study included patients aged 18 to 65 years who were diagnosed with uncomplicated urinary tract infections and had positive urine cultures from March 2021 to August 2022, across 37 different centers in Türkiye. The participating centers were selected based on their use of the disk diffusion method, in line with the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) guidelines, to ensure standardization of urine culture data.

A Comparative Study of Equatorial and Longitudinal Incision Techniques in Microdissection Sperm Extraction for Nonobstructive Azoospermic Patients.

Objective: To compare sperm retrieval rates (SRR), postoperative pain, testicular volume, and postoperative testosterone levels between equatorial incisional microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) and longitidunal incisional micro-TESE in nonobstructive azoospermic (NOA) patients.

Methods: Fifty NOA patients undergoing equatorial incisional micro-TESE were retrospectively assigned to group 1, while 50 patients undergoing longitidunal incisional micro-TESE were prospectively assigned to group 2. Demographic data, operative time, postoperative pain assessed via the visual analog scale, complications, SRR, and hormonal evaluations (FSH, LH, total testosterone) were recorded.

The Clinical Management of Intrascrotal Extratesticular Masses With Evaluation of Histopathologic Findings.

Objective: To contribute to the literature by sharing the clinical presentation, surgical approach, postoperative complications management, and follow-up protocols of the patients we operated on due to intrascrotal extratesticular mass.

Methods: Thirty-two patients admitted due to intrascrotal extratesticular mass were included in the study. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients such as age, initial clinical presentation, physical examination, radiological imaging findings, such as scrotal Doppler ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, mass size, and characteristics, surgical treatment procedures, operation notes, and patient follow-up visits were retrospectively examined and evaluated from the patient files.

Prediction of spontaneous distal ureteral stone passage using artificial intelligence.

Purpose: Identifying factors predicting the spontaneous passage of distal ureteral stones and evaluating the effectiveness of artificial intelligence in prediction.

Materials And Methods: The files of patients presenting with distal ureteral stones were retrospectively evaluated. Those who experienced spontaneous passage were assigned to Group P, while those who did not were assigned to Group N.

Outcomes of ultraminipercutaneous nephrolithotomy in infants: our experiences at a single center in an endemic region.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to contribute to the literature by sharing the perioperative and postoperative outcomes of infants (0-24 months) who underwent ultra-mini percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) for kidney stones in our clinic.

Methods: Infants under 24 months old with kidney stones of 2 cm and larger, who applied to our clinic between January 2018 and May 2023, were included in the study. The patients' demographic and clinical characteristics were obtained from the medical records.
