Purpose: to investigate the factors affecting post-treatment paternity intention in patients followed up after the diagnosis of testicular cancer and to make recommendations for the early postoperative period based on the identified factors.
Materials And Methods: This prospective descriptive study included total 185 patients who presented to our outpatient clinic between February 2000 and July 2020 who had radical orchiectomy due to suspected testicular cancer based on physical examination and other assessments. Contact information was found for 88 of 185 patients, and accordingly, the patients were reached by one-to-one phone calls.

Objective: The clinical symptoms in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are directly proportional to prostate volume. We aimed to show whom and when to intervene in a noninvasive way, correlating the patient's subjective symptoms with objective diagnostic tools.
Material And Method: International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was evaluated in patients who consulted the urology outpatient clinic for the first time with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).
Background: This study aimed to determine the contribution of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) performed before varicocelectomy to the success of surgical treatment and to evaluate the correlation between CDUS findings and semen parameters.
Methods: A total of 84 patients diagnosed with grade 3 left varicocele in our clinic between 2016 and 2018 were evaluated. The patients in whom the decision for varicocelectomy was based on only physical examination (PE) findings and abnormal semen analysis (SA) were defined as Group 1, while the patients undergoing varicocelectomy based on PE, CDUS and SA findings were defined as Group 2.
Aim: This study evaluated the effect of intracavitary levobupivacaine infusion diluted with locally applied isotonic solution for pain control in cystoscopy.
Methods: Included in this study are 100 patients who had previously undergone transurethral tumour resection for bladder tumour and were followed up by cystoscopy. The patients were randomised into five groups (n = 20).
