Objectives: The aim of this study is to examine the lawsuits filed against urologists in Turkey, to reveal the results of these lawsuits and the sub-branch of urology they are related to, to discuss the possible reasons for the lawsuits and what can be done to prevent them.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigated gene expression related to stone formation in patients with recurrent calcium oxalate stones compared to individuals without a history of renal stones.
- Nineteen patients with recurrent stones and 21 control patients were analyzed, with normal biochemical parameters and no significant urinary abnormalities noted.
- Results showed that the gene expression related to stone formation was significantly higher in the stone-forming group, suggesting that this overexpression may contribute to the development of recurrent calcium oxalate stones.
