Introduction Achieving stone free status (SFS) is the goal of surgery. In this study it aimed to compare effectiveness unenhanced helical computerized tomography (UHCT), KUB and ultrasonography (US) for detection residual RFs predicition releated events following percutaneous nephrolitotomy (PNL). Materials Methods Patients underwent PNL radiopaque stones between November 2007 February 2010 were followed. examined within 24-48 hours after procedure by KUB, US UHCT. For size 4 mm was accepted...

Due to infectious complications of transrectal prostate biopsy (TRBx), the transperineal (TPBx) technique is gaining popularity and first-line method in many institutions. We share our experience first 100 patients with TPBx, performed using coaxial needle under local anesthesia.

<i>Objectives:</i> Subclinical prostatitis is a very frequent histologic finding in pathological examinations of prostate biopsy and surgery material. In this study, we tried to investigate the correlation between morphological parameters histological total serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-PSA density (PSAD) determine if either extent or aggressiveness inflammation might affect PSA. <i>Methods:</i> 269 patients who had undergone TURP transvesical prostatectomy...

Near infrared spectroscopy measures tissue oxygenation even when there is complete cessation of blood flow. We evaluated near to diagnose testicular torsion and blindly compared its accuracy with that Doppler ultrasound. also it by immunohistochemical evaluation hypoxia cell viability.Rats were randomized 4 groups, including group 1-720-degree unilateral torsion, 2-360-degree 4-sham operation 4-720-degree followed surgical reduction at minute 180. ultrasound done minutes 0, 5, 30, 60, 180...

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of prostate volume and lesion size on clinically significant cancer (csPCa) detection rates transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided biopsies, performed by a cognitive targeting method for sampling peripheral zone lesions.We retrospectively enrolled 219 consecutive patients, who underwent multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging with 3-T scanner had lesions suspected cancer. All these patients combined targeted biopsy suspicious TRUS-guided...

Objective. The purpose of this study was to determine whether hydrocele has any effect on the volume and shape ipsilateral testis can be implicated as a cause testicular ischemia. Methods. Group 1 consisted 23 patients with unilateral idiopathic hydrocele, whereas 30 healthy men constituted group 2. All underwent scrotal ultrasonography by which dimensions in craniocaudal (Dcc), anteroposterior (Dap), mediolateral axes were measured, followed calculation Dcc/Dap ratio volume. By color...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the value tumor-bladder wall contact length (CL), tumor height (H), and height-to-length ratio (H/CL) for preoperative staging bladder carcinoma.Fifty-seven patients with tumors underwent suprapubic ultrasonography preoperatively, CL H in lumen were measured. CL, H, H/CL values correlated invasion determined by histopathologic analysis cystectomy material. Invasion staged according TNM classification system.Statistically significant differences...

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine the role chronic constipation in etiopathogenesis varicocele men. Methods In prospective study, group 1 included 25 male patients who had symptoms for a mean duration ± SD 17.0 20.3 months (range, 3–96 months), and 2 26 subjects without any associated with constipation. All were evaluated by both physical examination scrotal ultrasonography. For plexus pampiniformis (PP) veins, diameter exceeding mm reflux more than second accepted as...

In this study, we aimed to identify risk factors for the development of infectious complications after prostate biopsy and investigate role intestinal colonization bacteria that are resistant prophylactic antibiotics.A total 168 patients who had undergone transrectal (TRPB) under ciprofloxacin gentamycin prophylaxis were included in study. Stool cultures subsequent antibiotic susceptibility testing performed all before start prophylaxis.Of patients, 17 (10.1%) developed urinary tract...

As prostatic volume influences percent free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in patients with prostate cancer, we evaluated whether PSA density, which relates the serum to of determined by transrectal ultrasound, could increase specificity cancer detection men normal digital rectal examinations and intermediate levels.We prospectively 105 consecutive levels 4.1-10.0 ng/ml. All underwent at least sextant biopsies establish diagnosis. For total used an Immulite assay. We compared density for...

This study was conducted to evaluate the transrectal sonographic (TRUS) features of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) by comparing histopathologic results with TRUS findings in patients who had undergone TRUS-guided prostate biopsy.From an initial set 307 underwent biopsy, for 44 whose pathologic were consistent PIN reviewed retrospectively. Among these patients, 12 only PIN, 20 associated prostatitis, and cancer foci. After exclusion foci that included prostatitis at same site, core...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect premicturitional bladder volume (V1) on postvoid residual urine (V2) measurements and assess ideal V1 for an accurate V2 determination.Twenty-five healthy men without any urinary symptoms constituted group. Measurements by transabdominal ultrasonography were performed each subject at 3 different phases, which preceded oral intake 1000 mL water accompanied "mild," "moderate," "severe" sensations micturition, respectively.Mean +/- SD during...

Objective Ultrasonographic evaluation of ureteral stones is usually performed after fluid ingestion for filling the bladder to visualize ureterovesical junction better. We hypothesized that water may decrease imaging quality ultrasonography detecting ureter stones. In our prospective randomized study, accuracy with or without intake were evaluated. Methods The study population comprised 150 consecutive patients thought have who underwent ultrasonography. Patients divided into 2 groups. Group...
