Extracorporeal Shockwave Lithotripsy Still Alive for Pediatric Ureteral Stones ≤1.0 cm.

This retrospective study compares extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (SWL) and ureteroscopy (URS) in pediatric ureteral stones ≤1.0 cm, aiming to determine the optimal treatment based on clinical outcomes. The study included patients with ureteral stones ≤1.

Comparative analysis of multiparametric prostate MRI and Ga-PSMA PET/MRI with radical prostatectomy specimens in prostate cancer staging.

Objective: Because of low mortality rates and high treatment-related adverse effects in patients diagnosed early, active surveillance, focused treatments, and watchful waiting are currently advocated, emphasizing the importance of proper prostate cancer (Pca) staging using imaging techniques. We aimed to comparatively investigate the success rates of multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/MRI in predicting tumoral regions, seminal vesicle invasion, and extraprostatic extension.

Subjects And Methods: Twenty six patients with a biopsy diagnosis of prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy between January 2021 and September 2022 were included in the study.

Evaluation of the Risk Factors for the Incisional Hernia Occurrence After Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy.

Our aim was to evaluate patient-related factors and compare the techniques used for surgical specimen removal [trocar extension (TE) and Pfannenstiel incision (PF)] in terms of incisional hernia (IH) occurrence in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP). The records of 219 patients who underwent RALRP in our clinic between November 2017 and March 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Postoperative complication data and functional (continence and potency status) and oncological outcomes were recorded.

Penile fracture: Tertiary care center experience and long-term complications after immediate repair.

Background: In the literature, there is not sufficient data on factors affecting the development of complications in patients with penile fracture after early surgical intervention.

Objectives: To investigate the predictors of long-term complications in patients who underwent immediate surgical repair for penile fracture.

Materials/methods: This clinical study included a total of 31 cases of penile fracture in which surgical treatment was performed within the first 24 h and penile fracture was confirmed during the operation.

Comparison of a Modified Antegrade and Retrograde Ureteral Double-J Stenting Techniques during Laparoscopic and Robotic Pyeloplasty.

Introduction: To compare the effect of a modified antegrade and retrograde double-J stenting techniques on stenting and operation time in patients who underwent laparoscopic or robotic pyeloplasty.

Methods: A total of 74 patients undergoing transperitoneal laparoscopic or robotic pyeloplasty were enrolled into this study. The antegrade (Group 1) and retrograde (Group 2) techniques were compared for operation time, stenting time, complication, and reoperation rates.
