The ectopic ureter opening into the vulva, which is a rare cause of lifelong urinary incontinence: Treatment with ureteroureterostomy.

Persistent urinary incontinence (UI) in adults may indicate a congenital anomaly. Before initiating medical treatment in these patients, a detailed physical examination is necessary for establishing an accurate diagnosis. In this study, we report on a patient who presented with the complaint of congenital UI associated with ectopic ureter and was detected with a right complete duplex collecting system and a ureter opening into the vulva and the surgical treatment applied to that patient.

Symptomatic paraganglioma of the urinary bladder: A rare case treated with a combined surgical approach.

Pheochromocytomas are tumors of the embryonic chromaffin cells, originating from the embryonic neural crest. The pheochromocytomas developing at extra-adrenal locations are termed paragangliomas, which are extremely rare and account for almost 0.06% of all bladder tumors.

Turkish Urologists' preferences regarding antibiotic prophylaxis for transrectal prostate biopsy.

Objective: Antibiotic prophylaxis for transrectal prostate biopsy (PB) is very important in preventing infectious complications, and in this study, we aimed to evaluate the antibiotic preferences of Turkish urologist for transrectal PB.

Material And Methods: The survey about PB and antibiotic prophylaxis behaviors was administered to urologists working in Turkey who had previously participated in at least one international and one national congress.

Results: A total of 237 urologists were included in the study.

Comparison of pain levels in fusion prostate biopsy and standard TRUS-Guided biopsy.

Objectives: Fusion prostate biopsy (FPB) has recently emerged as a popular and successful biopsy technique on diagnosis of prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the pain levels in TRUS-guided standard 12-core prostate biopsy (SPB) and MpMRI-guided FPB.

Materials And Methods: Patients detected with a PI-RADS (Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System) ≥3 lesion on MpMRI underwent MpMRI-guided FPB (Group I) and the patients who had no suspected lesions or had a PI-RADS<3 lesion on MpMRI underwent TRUS-guided SPB (Group II).

Two-step treatment model for the adult patients with an obstructed kidney functioning below 10% of its capacity: a pilot study.

Background: There is no written consensus as to when and in what conditions simple nephrectomy should be performed for hypo-functioning obstructed kidneys. We aimed to assess renal function and the requirement of nephrectomy in patients that underwent percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) despite being indicated for nephrectomy due to a split renal function of less than 10% caused by ureteral obstruction.

Methods: This prospective study includes 18 patients with unilateral upper urinary tract obstruction and renal parenchymal loss on Technetium-99 m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy.

Comparison of the Upgrading Rates of International Society of Urological Pathology Grades and Tumor Laterality in Patients Undergoing Standard 12-Core Prostate Biopsy versus Fusion Prostate Biopsy for Prostate Cancer.

Background: Histopathological discrepancies between biopsy and radical prostatectomy (RP) specimens may lead to unnecessary, excessive, or incomplete treatment in prostate cancer (PCa) patients.

Objectives: To compare the upgrading rates of International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grades and tumor laterality in patients that underwent standard 12-core transrectal ultrasound-guided standard prostate biopsy (SPB) versus multiparametric magnetic resonance-guided fusion prostate biopsy (FPB) for PCa.

Methods: This retrospective study included 152 patients that underwent prostate biopsy and RP in our clinic.

Multiparametric MRI fusion-guided prostate biopsy in biopsy naive patients: Preliminary results from 80 patients.

Objective: The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the early results of transrectal prostate biopsies performed under the guidance of multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in biopsy naive patients.

Material And Methods: Biopsy naive patients who had prostate-specific antigen level 4-10 ng/mL and/or abnormal digital rectal examination findings and provided informed consent were examined using mpMRI. The study included 80 patients with an MRI-defined lesion with a Prostate Imaging and Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) score of ≥3.

Can the expression level of PIWIL 2 gene be a serum marker for prostate cancer? A single-center prospective study.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the predictive value of the serum expression level of Piwi-like 2 (PIWIL2), a stem cell protein, for prostate cancer (PCa).

Materials And Method: This randomized and prospective study included a total of 60 volunteers between 50 and 75 years old. Cases were assigned to three groups according to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) elevations and pathology reports, with 20 participants in each group.

Comparison of infection and urosepsis rates of ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone prophylaxis before percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a prospective and randomised study.

This study aimed at determining the choice and administration duration of ideal antibiotic prophylaxis before percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) operation, a treatment modality for nephrolithiasis. The study included 90 patients who had no internal problem, yet had a negative urine culture and underwent a PNL operation. We compared infection rates between ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone groups and their subgroups.
