A new parameter to increase the predictive value of multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging for clinically significant prostate cancer in targeted biopsies: lesion density.

Aim: To investigate the predictive value of lesion length in multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging with respect to prostate volume for clinically significant prostate cancer diagnosis in targeted biopsies.

Materials And Methods: The data of biopsy-naïve patients in the Turkish Urooncology Association Prostate Cancer Database who underwent targeted prostate biopsies were included in this study. Lesion density is calculated as the ratio of lesion length (mm) in MR to prostate volume (cc).

Comparison of rigid and elastic registration methods in software-based targeted prostate biopsy: a multicenter cohort study.

Background/aim: This study aims to compare the success rates of rigid registration (RR) and elastic registration (ER) systems in diagnosing all cancers and clinically significant prostate cancer (csPC) in software-based targeted prostate biopsies (TPBs) by performing matching analysis.

Materials And Methods: The data of 2061 patients from six centers where software-based TPB is performed were used. All cancer and csPC detection rates of the RR and ER systems were compared following Mahalanobis distance matching with the propensity score caliper method.

Effect of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Instillation Timing on Oncological Survivals After Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumor.

Objective: To investigate whether the timing of bacillus Calmette-Guerin instillation (TTBCG), which plays a key role in treating non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), after transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) affects oncologic outcomes.

Methods: Patient data obtained from the Urologic Cancer Database-Bladder (UroCaD-B) of Turkish Uro-oncology Association (TUOA) were evaluated. Data from 292 patients from 12 centers with primary T1HG treated with TURBT and maintenance BCG between 2003 and 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.

An Inside Into a Rare Living Liver Donor Hepatectomy Complication: Acute Mechanical Bowel Obstruction Resulting from a Diaphragmatic Hernia.

Introduction: Living donor liver transplantation is encouraged due to the limited availability of cadaveric donors. However, this patient group is at risk for various complications. Diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication but often requires reoperation.

Clinical Features and Natural Course of Hidradenitis Suppurativa in Turkey: A Multicenter Study.

Introduction: The natural history, the progression of a disease process in an individual over time, has not yet been fully elucidated in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). In this large multicenter study, we aimed to investigate the natural history of HS and its gender differences.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 827 patients.
