An outbreak of postoperative rapidly developing and multidrug-resistant urosepsis due to a contaminated ureteroscope.

Outbreaks caused by microorganisms contaminating the inside of rigid ureteroscopes are extremely rare. Some of these outbreaks, especially those caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections, can cause serious problems, even death. Among these serious infections, we have no data about Klebsiellapneumoniae outbreaks caused by rigid ureteroscopes and their management and consequences.

Medium-long-term outcomes of saphenous vein graft in Peyronie surgery: Is there a need for new graft material?

Aim: We present our results of tunical incision and saphenous graft surgery for men with short penis and who cannot have sexual relations due to curvature linked to chronic Peyronie plaques.

Introduction: Peyronie disease is a chronic process where fibrotic plaques form in the tunica albuginea. The plaques cause pain in the acute period and cause the penis to bend after inflammation ends.

Retrograde intrarenal surgery for impacted upper ureteral stone in a patient with advanced lumbar scoliosis and lower-extremity development defect: a case report.

Background: Today, retrograde intrarenal surgery is the most preferred and very successful treatment method for upper ureteral stones that do not spontaneously pass and/or do not benefit from extracorporeal wave lithotripsy. However, perioperative complications are more common in retrograde intrarenal surgery if the stone in the ureter is impacted. Moreover, urosepsis and renal dysfunction are detected more frequently in patients with impacted stones.

Effect of testicular morphology on embryo development to the blastocyst stage after round spermatid injection.

If spermatozoa cannot be found after testiculer sperm extraction (TESE) in patients followed up due to nonobstructive azospermia (NOA) and the patients do not want donor spermatozoa, performance of round spermatid injection (ROSI) with the current technology seems to be the last resort. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the effect of testicular morphology on the development of embryos to the blastocyst stage obtained from ROSI. Between September 2019 and March 2020, after TESE and biopsy 29 patients who had only spermatid were taken to study.
