Predictive factors for failure of conservative management in patients with emphysematous pyelonephritis.

Introduction: Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is a severe form of life-threatening renal infection. Conservative treatment represents the gold standard in the management of EPN, but nephrectomy remains appropriate in certain situations.

Objective: The aim of our study was to report our experience in the conservative management of emphysematous pyelonephritis and to identify the predictive factors of failure of conservative treatment.

Functional outcomes of surgical treatment of varicocele in infertile men: Comparison of three techniques.

Introduction: Among identified causes of male infertility, varicocele holds an important place and is significantly associated with sperm quality deterioration. Surgical management of this condition leads to an improvement in the sperm count and an increase in the spontaneous pregnancy rate.

Objective: The goal of this study was to compare different surgical techniques in terms of morbidity and fertility results.

Giant adrenal myelolipoma in a young female patient: a case report.

Myelolipoma is a rare, benign, non-secreting tumor and its pathophysiology is of metaplasia of the cells of the adrenal cortex into reticuloendothelial cells. Although they are often small and asymptomatic, some cases of giant adrenal myelolipoma cause symptoms such as chronic pain. Few cases of adrenal myelolipoma have been reported in the literature.

Erectile function outcomes following surgical treatment of ischemic priapism.

Introduction: Ischemic Priapism is defined as an abnormally prolonged state of erection, exceeding 6 h, often and irreducible, occurring without any sexual stimulation. Ischemic priapism has a fatal consequence on the sexual function of men if it's not promptly managed. This pathology can cause erectile dysfunction and this can alter the quality of life of patients.

[The prognostic value of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma].

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of patients with non-metastatic renal cell carcinoma who were operated between 2004 and 2020 at our institution. The Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to graphically display survivor functions.

Renal abscess is a medical and surgical urological emergency whose diagnosis has been improved by modern imaging. It often poses a problem of therapeutic management between antibiotic therapy or the association of a drainage. Most abscesses are unilateral, the bilateral nature of the abscessed lesions suggests a hematogenous diffusion.
