The Correlation of Intraabdominal Pressure With Renal Resistive Index.

Background: To evaluate the correlation between intraabdominal pressure (IAP) measured via the bladder and renal resistive index (RRI) measured by Doppler ultrasonography (USG).

Methods: Eighty consecutive surgical patients were included into this study. Before Doppler USG evaluation, IAP was measured by a Foley catheter via the bladder.

Low body mass index might be a predisposing factor for varicocele recurrence: a prospective study.

We investigated the possible relationship between body mass index (BMI) score and varicocele recurrence in an infertile patient population. A total of 255 primary infertile male patients (138 with varicocele and 117 for control) were included in this study. Height and weight measurements, clinical examination for varicocele, determination of serum hormone levels and spermiogram were performed in all cases.

Periprostatic nerve blockage reduces postoperative analgesic consumption and pain scores of patients undergoing transurethral prostate resection.

Introduction: To evaluate the effects of periprostatic bupivacaine administration on pain control and analgesic consumption after transurethral prostate resection (TURP).

Materials And Methods: The study included 40 male patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia who underwent TURP, and they were divided randomly into two groups. All patients were operated under general anesthesia.
