A Comparative Study of Equatorial and Longitudinal Incision Techniques in Micro-Dissection Sperm Extraction for Non-Obstructive Azoospermic Patients.
Urology
December 2024
Ataturk University Medical Faculty, Department of Urology, Erzurum, Turkey. Electronic address:
Objective: To compare sperm retrieval rates, postoperative pain, testicular volume, and postoperative testosterone levels between equatorial incisional microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) and longitidunal incisional micro-TESE in non-obstructive azoospermic (NOA) patients.
Methods: Fifty NOA patients undergoing equatorial incisional micro-TESE were retrospectively assigned to Group 1, while 50 patients undergoing longitidunal incisional micro-TESE were prospectively assigned to Group 2. Demographic data, operative time, postoperative pain assessed via the visual analog scale (VAS), complications, sperm retrieval rates, and hormonal evaluations (FSH, LH, total testosterone) were recorded.
The effects of microsurgical varicocelectomy performed for infertility on premature ejaculation.
Int Urol Nephrol
December 2024
Urocentre Urology Clinic, Adana, Turkey.
Purpose: To investigate the effects of varicocelectomy on premature ejaculation (PE) in patients with varicocele and infertility.
Methods: A total of 82 sexually active patients aged 18 years or over who had undergone microscopic subinguinal varicocelectomy with a clinical diagnosis of varicocele in 14 urology clinics between October 2021 and March 2023 with primary infertility were evaluated prospectively Patients were evaluated using the Turkish validated form of the 'Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool' (PEDT) scale. A PEDT score of 11 or above was taken to indicate the presence of PE.
Evaluation of the Impact of Functional Hypogonadism in Body Composition and Weight Loss in Men Undergoing Bariatric Surgery.
Obes Surg
December 2024
Universidade Federal de Ciências da Saúde de Porto Alegre, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Introduction: Obesity and hypogonadism are linked in a vicious cycle: low testosterone levels favor weight gain and adiposity induces hypogonadism. We aimed to investigate if low levels of testosterone in pre-operative of bariatric surgery impacts postoperative weight loss (WL) and body composition (BC).
Material And Methods: A prospective, observational study included male patients who qualified for bariatric surgery.
Virilization, Ovarian Hyperthecosis and Torsion Masquerading as Malignancy: A Case Report.
J Pediatr Adolesc Gynecol
December 2024
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Department of Surgery, Division of Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology, Cincinnati, OH; University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Cincinnati, OH. Electronic address:
Background: Premenopausal females with signs of androgen excess and oligomenorrhea are commonly evaluated for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) or for an androgen-secreting tumor if a pelvic mass is present. Ovarian hyperthecosis (OHT) as a cause of these symptoms in adolescents is rare.
Case: A 15-year-old female with primary amenorrhea and signs of virilization was referred to Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology after pelvic imaging demonstrated a pelvic mass, suspected to be arising from the right ovary, and an adjacent paratubal cyst.
Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have been used for various conditions since the late 1990s. Functioning similarly to testosterone, they are used to improve sexual function, skeletal muscle mass, and bone mass, and exhibit other favorable physiological effects. While SARMs are associated with side effects varying from edema to polycythemia, the biggest concern is their lack of regulation, as they are not FDA approved.
