    A cut-off value for the operation time and other risk factors in terms of the infection risk for flexible ureterorenoscopy
    (Wiley, 2020-12-01) Demir, Aslan; Celen, Sinan; Gunseren, Kadir Omur; GÜNSEREN, KADİR ÖMÜR; Cicek, Mehmet Cagatay; ÇİÇEK, MEHMET ÇAĞATAY; Kilicarslan, Hakan; KILIÇARSLAN, HAKAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-8673-3093; 0000-0002-0471-5404; AAO-8934-2021; ABC-9924-2020
    Objectives To investigate the operation time (OT) and ureteral access sheath (UAS) usage with the infection rates and to determine a cut-off value for OT.Methods We retrospectively analysed the data of the patients who underwent flexible ureterorenoscopy (FURS) for renal stones larger than 20 mm between 2010 and 2019. The investigated parameters were OT, UAS using, and infection status. The data were analysed by forming two groups according to whether the OT was less than 60 minutes and more, whether the UAS was used and whether an infection occurred. In addition, independent risk factors that may affect postoperative urinary infection development were also investigated by logistic regression analysis. And, a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was applied to determine a cut-off value in OT terms, where infection rates increase more.Results A total of 575 patients were enrolled in the study. The rates of the usage of UAS and infection were greater statistically in the group for longer than 60 minutes. OT was longer statistically in the infection group than in the group without infection (94.1 +/- 14.2 and 68.01 +/- 23.1, for groups 1 and 2, respectively, P < .05, Table 2). OT was statistically longer in the UAS group than the unused one (79.3 +/- 24.4 and 66.7 +/- 22.4, for groups 1 and 2, respectively, P < .05, Table 3). ROC analyses revealed a cut-off point of 87.5 min for OT in terms of infection rate.Conclusion While the infection risk increases when OT exceeds 60 minutes, FURS can be safely performed up to 87.5 minutes with 89% sensitivity and 69% specificity infection risk.

    Comparison of laparoscopic pyelolithotomy and retrograde intrarenal surgery in the management of large renal pelvic stones
    (Wiley, 2021-03-02) Çiçek, Mehmet Çağatay; Asi, Tariq; Günseren, Kadir Ömür; Kılıçarslan, Hakan; ÇİÇEK, MEHMET ÇAĞATAY; GÜNSEREN, KADİR ÖMÜR; KILIÇARSLAN, HAKAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0002-0471-5404; 0000-0001-8673-3093; ABC-9924-2020; HGM-5995-2022; FGY-3115-2022
    Background To compare the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic pyelolithotomy (LP) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in the management of large renal pelvic stones.Patients and methods This study included patients who presented with a single renal pelvic stone sized >= 20 mm and who were treated primarily by LP or RIRS. The patients were grouped based on the surgical procedure they underwent. We retrospectively examined and compared the age, the longest axis, and the surface area of the stone, operation time, hospitalization time, complications, and stone-free rates of the two groups.Results Of the 156 patients included in the study, 44 had LP, and 112 had RIRS. Patients who received LP (13 males, 31 females) had a median age of 54 (18-79) years, while those who underwent RIRS (46 males, 66 females) had a median age of 54.5 (18-79). Patients who received LP were found to have larger median stone size (30 mm vs 24 mm, P = .003), longer operation time (100 minutes vs 70 minutes, P = .007), lower complication rate (2% vs 8.9%, P = .063), longer median hospital stay (3 days vs 1 day, P < .001) and better stone-free rate at the third month (90.9% vs 67.9%, P < .001).Conclusion LP is a safe and efficient procedure that could be used as an alternative to RIRS in managing large renal pelvic stones.

    Challenging risk factors for right and left laparoscopic adrenalectomy: A single centre experience with 272 cases
    (Brazilian Soc Urol, 2019-07-01) Kordan, Yakup; Günseren, Kadir Ömür; GÜNSEREN, KADİR ÖMÜR; Çiçek, Mehmet Cağatay; ÇİÇEK, MEHMET ÇAĞATAY; Vuruşkan, Hakan; VURUŞKAN, HAKAN; Yavaşçaoğlu, İsmet; YAVAŞCAOĞLU, İSMET; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-8673-3093; 0000-0002-0471-5404; 0000-0002-9947-848X; ABC-9924-2020
    Purpose: This study aimed to compare perioperative and postoperative results of right and left laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA), and to evaluate the impact of challenging factors on these outcomes.Materials and Methods: A total of 272 patient's medical records that underwent single side LA between October 2006 and September 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to operation side. Moreover, pheochromocytoma, metastatic masses and adrenal lesions >5cm in size were considered to be difficult adrenalectomy cases and the outcomes of these cases were compared between two groups.Results: 135 patients (49.6%) underwent right LA and 137 patients (50.4%) underwent left LA. Operation time, estimated blood loss (EBL) and hospitalization time were similar between the groups (p=0.415, p=0.242, p=0.741, respectively). Although EBL was higher on the right side than the left (p=0.038) in the first 20 cases, after this learning period has been completed, there was no significant difference between the groups. In patients with pheochromocytoma, metastatic mass and a mass >5cm in size, despite bleeding complications were clinically higher on the right side, this difference was not statistically significant.Conclusions: During the learning period of LA, EBL is higher on the right side. Due to the greater risk of bleeding complications on the right side even on the hands of experienced surgeons, extra care and preoperative planning are required in patients with pheochromocytoma, metastatic masses and masses >5cm in size.

    (Aves, 2020-07-01) Çiçek, Mehmet Çağatay; Kaynak, Yurdaer; Gunseren, Kadir Ömur; Kaygısız, Onur; Vuruşkan, Hakan; ÇİÇEK, MEHMET ÇAĞATAY; GÜNSEREN, KADİR ÖMÜR; KAYGISIZ, ONUR; VURUŞKAN, HAKAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-0471-5404; 0000-0001-8673-3093; 0000-0002-9790-7295; ABC-9924-2020; L-9439-2019; HGM-5995-2022 ; EFH-9523-2022
    Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of laparoscopic urologic surgery on cardiac functions by the parameter pulse wave velocity (PWV), a noninvasive method.Material and methods: Between July 2012 and February 2013, a total of 47 patients were included in this prospective controlled study. Patients who have been scheduled for laparoscopic surgery (LS) (n=30) and open surgery (n=17) were enrolled in the study. Preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative cardiovascular parameters were measured by a PWV instrument, and the results were compared between laparoscopic (L) group and open (C) group.Results: In the L group, compared to preoperative values, perioperative systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure, and mean arterial pressure increased considerably, by 2.6%, 7.9%, and 4.7%, respectively. This was in contrary to reductions in these parameters by 9.5%, 5.7%, and 10%, respectively, in the C group. For the I. group, cardiac output (CO) and cardiac index (CI) were increased in the perioperative period and decreased in the postoperative period. For the C group, there were no changes in measurements of perioperative and postoperative CO and CI. However, these changes in CO and CI were not significantly different between the L and C groups. Postoperative large artery elasticity index decreased in both groups. However, these changes did not represent significant difference between groups.Conclusion: Compared to open surgery, LS may cause increases in perioperative blood pressures. In addition, increased blood pressures may last even on the first postoperative day. These effects may be more important for patients with high cardiovascular risk.

    Purpose Shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) is the first option in the treatment of pediatric kidney stones; however, optimal frequency is still uncertain. The aim of this study was to compare low frequency [60 shocks per minute (SWs/min)] and intermediate frequency [90 SWs/min] in terms of lithotripsy success, complications, cardiac arrhythmia, anesthesia time, secondary procedures, and efficiency quotient (EQ) in children. Methods Seventy-eight consecutive children who received SWL for radiopaque renal stones between July 2016 and January 2020 were randomly divided into two groups: Group 60 (SWL frequency: 60 SWs/min) and Group 90 (SWL frequency: 90 SWs/min). After exclusion (remaining 71 children), Group 60 (n = 38) and Group 90 (n = 33) were compared using univariate analysis. Results The median age of children (37 girls, 34 boys) was 5 (1-16) years. Patient demographics and stone features were similar between the groups. Success rate after the last SWL session was 81.6% (n = 31) for Group 60 and 87.9% (n = 29) for Group 90 (p = 0.527). Stone-free rate after the first, second, and third sessions was 42.1%, 18.4%, and 21.1% for Group 60 and 48.5%, 27.3%, and 12.1% for Group 90, respectively. Additional treatment rate was similar between the groups. In Group 60, the EQ was 57.83, and it was 64.07 in Group 90. Median total anesthesia time was significantly longer in Group 60 (74.5 min) than in Group 90 (32 min; p < 0.001). Conclusion Intermediate frequency and low-frequency pediatric SWL have similar success rates; however, intermediate-frequency SWL has a shorter anesthesia time.

    15 and 30 w holmium: Yag laser lithotriptor in ureteroscopic lithotripsy: Which one is more effective and safe?
    (Mary Ann Liebert, 2021-05-05) Kaygısız, Onur; Aydın, Yavuz Mert; Çicek, Mehmet Çağatay; Çelen, Sinan; Coşkun, Burhan; Kılıçarslan, Hakan; Kaygısız, Onur; KAYGISIZ, ONUR; Aydın, Yavuz Mert; AYDIN, YAVUZ MERT; Çicek, Mehmet Çağatay; ÇİÇEK, MEHMET ÇAĞATAY; Coşkun, Burhan; COŞKUN, BURHAN; Kılıçarslan, Hakan; KILIÇARSLAN, HAKAN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-9790-7295; 0000-0002-6287-6767; 0000-0002-0471-5404; 0000-0002-8242-9921; JCO-5169-2023; AFP-3055-2022; L-9439-2019
    Background: Holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser lithotripsy with ureteroscopy (URS) was a safe and successful treatment option for pediatric ureteral stones. We aimed to comparatively evaluate the outcomes of 15 and 30 W Ho:YAG laser lithotriptors in pediatric ureter stones.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 55 children who underwent ureteroscopic laser lithotripsy to treat ureter stone size up to 15 mm between September 2009 and March 2020. Groups were formed according to the laser lithotriptor power 15 W (Group 15: n = 32), 30 W (Group 30: n = 23). The efficiency of laser lithotriptors was compared between the groups.Results: The age, gender, and stone characteristics (longest stone diameter, density, location and multiple stones) were similar between the groups. In the postop first month, stone-free status was achieved in all cases except one child in Group 15. The median operative time was significantly shorter in Group 30 (40 minutes) than in Group 15 (52.5 minutes) (P = .010). Clavien-Dindo class (CDC) 2 complications occurred in 2 children in both groups (P = .597). Although ureteric stenosis was observed in 1 patient in Group 15, no ureteric stenosis was seen in Group 30 during follow-up (median 16.1 months). Length of hospital stay (LoHS) and stone-free rates were similar between groups.Conclusion: URS with 15 and 30 W Ho:YAG laser lithotriptors is an effective treatment option for pediatric ureteral stones with a high success rate and low complication rates. In brief, 30 W Ho:YAG laser lithotriptors should be preferred over 15 W lithotriptors due to their shorter operative time with similar success rate.

    Objectives The study aimed to assess the haemodynamic changes of laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) in geriatric patients with pheochromocytoma (PHEO). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the haemodynamic outcomes of LA in this patient population.Methods Data of 350 patients who underwent single-side transperitoneal LA between 2000 and 2020 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients with a histopathological diagnosis of PHEO were included in the study and classified into two groups according to their ages at the date of surgery. Patients older than 65 years were accepted as elderly according to the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations.Results A total of 54 patients underwent LA for PHEO. Fifteen patients were enrolled in the elderly and 39 in the young groups. There were no significant differences in terms of the operation site (0.564), tumour size (0.878), perioperative results such as mean anaesthesia; operation times, blood loss and haemodynamic changes. There were no significant differences in mean hospitalisation and intensive care unit times. One patient in both groups had grade 1 complication according to Clavien Dindo classification (prolonged ileus, managed with medical treatment and transfusion during surgery, respectively).Conclusion Young and elderly patients had similar outcomes in terms of haemodynamic changes that occurred with LA. LA in elderly patients with PHEO is as safe and effective as in younger patients.

    (Kare, 2021-02-26) Günseren, Kadir Ömür; Çiçek, Mehmet Çağatay; Aydın, Yavuz Mert; Özmerdiven, Çağdaş Gökhun; Yavaşcaoğlu, İsmet; GÜNSEREN, KADİR ÖMÜR; ÇİÇEK, MEHMET ÇAĞATAY; AYDIN, YAVUZ MERT; YAVAŞCAOĞLU, İSMET; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-8673-3093; 0000-0002-0471-5404; 0000-0002-6287-6767; AFP-3055-2022; ABC-9924-2020; HGM-5995-2022; EIN-0828-2022
    Objective: This study aimed to compare the right and left side laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) outcomes of a single center.Materials and Methods: The outcomes of patients who underwent LDN in our clinic between 2008 and 2020 were evaluated retrospectively. Two groups were consisted according to the side of the donor kidney. The gender, age, body mass index, duration of operation, amount of bleeding, warm ischemia time, drain removal time, and duration of hospitalization and complications were compared between groups.Results: A total of 314 patients were included in the study. Sixty-six patients underwent right LDN and 248 underwent left LDN. There was no difference between groups in terms of age, duration of operation, amount of bleeding, warm ischemia time, and complications (p>0.05). However, drain removal time and duration of hospitalization were longer in the left LDN group (p<0.05).Conclusions: The right LDN had similar intraoperative outcomes with the left LDN. However, failure on meticulous dissection of the lymphatic structures during left LDN might cause chylous drainage and prolonged hospitalization time.

    How should be follow-up strategy in stage 1 testicular tumor, are there any novelties?
    (Galenos Yayincilik, 2011-09-01) Kordan, Yakup; Çiçek, Mehmet Cağatay; ÇİÇEK, MEHMET ÇAĞATAY; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-9947-848X; 0000-0002-0471-5404
    Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common cause of cancer in men between the age of 15 and 45 years and most patients have stage 1 disease at presentation. Although well defined clinical guidelines are present for the diagnosis and the treatment of testicular carcinoma there is not enough study published on the ideal follow-up of patients with stage 1 testicular carcinoma. An ideal follow-up protocol should not only provide early detection and treatment of recurrences but also ensure identification and reduction of side effects and secondary malignancies due to treatment. Besides, it should be economically feasible. In this article, the current literature and novelties regarding ideal follow-up for stage 1 testicular carcinoma were reviewed.
