In this article, we describe for the first time the use of the cutting balloon in the treatment of patients with urethral stricture. Four patients with bulbar urethral stricture were included in the study. All strictures were successfully dilated with the cutting balloon, and patients were free of symptoms at 6-month follow-up. Cutting-balloon dilatation is a safe, easy-to-perform, and effective treatment for patients with tight urethral strictures.

From August 2007 to January 2008, six patients underwent bilateral simultaneous totally tubeless PCNL. Patients who needed more than one access, who had significant intraoperative bleeding, and who had pelvicaliceal system perforations or a residual stone were excluded from the study group. Preliminary results were analyzed in six patients. Five men and one woman patient with a mean age of 50.1 years underwent a bilateral totally tubeless procedure. The mean stone burden was 524.5 mm(2) (range 100 mm(2)-1800 mm(2)). The mean drop in hemoglobin was 1.55 g/dL (range 0.6-2.6 g/dL). No blood transfusion was necessary in any patient. The mean hospitalization time was 1.8 days (range 1-4 d). A complications was encountered in one patient; the patient had anuria postoperatively for 16 hours, which resolved after the insertion of bilateral Double-J stents. Bilateral simultaneous tubeless PCNL procedure should be kept in mind for selected patients. Prospective randomized studies with large series are necessary for further evaluation of the procedure.

A total of 600 patients who admitted to urology outpatient clinic were enrolled to the study. After the exclusion of 44 patients who do not match the inclusion criteria, the remaining 556 patients were examined for the presence and grade of varicocele and subsequently examined clinically for the presence of chronic venous disease findings. Finally, patients were asked to answer the VEINES-Sym questionnaire consisting of 10 items. All patients’ demographic parameters, cardiovascular risk factors, other co-morbid diseases and drug usage were noted.ResultsPatients were classified into two groups: varicocele (+) group ( n = 269) and varico...

Uygulama sonrasında lokal ve sistemik yan etkiler ortaya çıkabilir. Lokal yan etkilere sıklıkla rastlanmasına rağmen genel olarak bu tedavi şekli hastalar tarafından iyi tolere edilir. Sistemik yan etkilere daha az rastlanırken fatalite çok nadirdir. Bu yazıda; mesane karsinomu nedeniyle idame mesane içi BCG uygulanmasından sonra ateş, sepsis, pnömoni, akut böbrek yetmezliği, granülamatöz hepatit gelişen ve yoğun bakım ünitesinde exitus ile sonuçlanan olguyu sunduk.

Patients often present with penile deformity; recurrent urinary infections, urinary incontinence, serosal discharge from the accessory urethra, and difficulty in urinating. Urethral duplication is most commonly grouped according to the Efmann classification. It has 3 main types as Type I, II, and III. There is no consensus on its therapy. There are non-surgical solutions, including follow-up without therapy, as well as many surgical options, including urethral reconstruction. Anatomical urethra and the external sphincter should absolutely be delineated when a surgery is contemplated. We herein report the case of a two-year-old male patient referred to our clinic with recurrent urinary infection, bilateral hydronephrosis and difficulty in urinating who was diagnosed with urethral duplication. We discuss our findings with review of the relevant literature.

This retrospective study compared clinical and demographic data from patients who underwent surgery for testicular torsion and healthy controls. Testicular torsion was diagnosed with a physical examination and Doppler ultrasonography. Age, leukocyte count, platelet count and MPV were recorded for all participants. A total of 50 patients with testicular torsion and 51 healthy control subjects were enrolled. There was no significant difference in age and platelet count between the two groups. Patients with testicular torsion had a significantly higher leukocyte count and MPV, compared with controls. According to receiver operating characteristic curve analysis performed for the prediction of testicular torsion, the best cut-off point for MPV was 7.7 fl (sensitivity 62%, specificity 96%), and the best cut-off point for leukocyte count was 9.5 × 10(9)/l (sensitivity 58%, spe...
