Item Transpaeritoneal Laparoscopic Simple Nephrectomy: A Single Center Experience(2014) Cicek, Tufan; Sen, Erhan; Gonen, Murat; Gonulalan, Umut; Kosan, Murat; Ozturk, Bulent; 0000-0003-1944-1722; AAJ-8576-2021; AAA-7140-2021Purpose: In this study, we planned to evaluate the efficacy and perioperative outcomes of transperitoneal laparoscopic simple nephrectomy at Baskent University Konya Application and Research Center. Material and Methods: The demographic and perioperative data of patients who underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic simple nephrectomy at Baskent University Konya Application and Research Center Urology clinic between February 2005 and November 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. Operative time, perioperative laboratory results, the durations of hozpitalization and follow-up, perioperative complications and demographic characteristics of each patient were recorded. Results: Overall, 58 patients were included. 27 patients were male (46%) and 31 patients were female (54%). The mean age was 45.3 +/- 17.12 (6-79). The mean operative time was 104.4 +/- 36.5 (40-185) minutes. The mean hospitalization duration was 2.7 +/- 0.7 (2-5) days. The mean preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels were 13.7 +/- 1.74 and 12.4 +/- 1.73 mg/dl, respectively. Postoperative hemoglobin levels were statistically significatly lower than preoperative hemoglobin levels (p<0.001). 4 patients (%6.9) needed blood transfusion. 5 patients had grade I, 4 patients had grade II and 2 patients had grade III complications according to modified Clavien classification system. Conclusion: Transperitoneal laparoscopic simple nephrectomy seems to be a safe and efficacious treatment option as having low complication rates.Item Laparoscopic Transperitoneal Adrenalectomy: Experience with the First 10 Patients(2014) Cicek, Tufan; Karagulle, Erdal; Turk, Emin; Demir, Canan Cicek; Kosan, Murat; 0000-0003-4766-3373; AAJ-5609-2021; JBF-7113-2023; AAK-4857-2021Purpose: In this study we aimed to assess the outcomes and complications of laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy operation performed in our clinic Materials and Methods: Medical records of patients operated with laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy between February 2007 and November 2013 at Baskent University Konya Application and Research Center Urology Clinic are examined retrospectively. The demographic characteristics, preoperative and postoperative laboratory results, operation times, complications, and duration of hospital stay and follow- up were recorded. Results: A total of 10 patients underwent laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy. Seven of these were male and 3 were female. The mean age was 48 +/- 17.4 (27-71) years. The operation time was 104.4 +/- 36.5 (40-185) on average and the mean amount of blood loss was 43.5 +/- 121.2 ml. The average mass size was 41.6 +/- 23.8 (15-90) mm. The mean duration of hospital stay was 3.8 +/- 1.3 (2-6) days. The patients were followed for an average of 45.8 +/- 28.7 (4-85) months. The operation was turned to open technique in two patients. Mean preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin levels of the patients were 13.38 +/- 1.91 and 11.6 +/- 1.7 mg/dl, respectively. Postoperative hemoglobin level was on average lower than the preoperative level (p< 0.001). One patient required blood transfusion. Conclusion: We suggest that the complication rate of laparoscopic adrenalectomy would be lowered by selecting appropriate patients, more detailed assessment of adrenal functions, and increased surgical experience. Laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy is regarded as a safe and efficient treatment method.Item Lympadenectomy in Prostate Cancer(2014) Kosan, MuratAim: Radical prostatectomy is the standard treatment in localized prostate cancer. The limited or extended lymph node dissection in pelvic region is additionally applied to this procedure. We aimed to review the publications about the recently popularized extended pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). New Findings: The extended PLND is not suggested in patients with low risk prostate cancer. On the other hand, extended PLND is suggested to make a good staging and treat the micrometastasis in patients with intermediate and high risk prostate cancer. The complication rates of PLND are acceptable in comparison with the benefits. The benefits of other expansive methods for clinical staging are still lower than PLND. Conclusion: However, prospective and randomized clinical trials are needed to investigate the efficiency of PLND in localized prostate cancer, PLND has important role with good oncological results in patients with intermediate and high risk prostate cancer.Item Re: Cicek et al.: Spinal Anesthesia Is an Efficient and Safe Anesthetic Method for Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (Urology 2013;83:50-55) Reply(2014) Gonulalan, Umut; Cicek, Tufan; Kosan, Murat; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0784-9926; 24581537Item Urethral Duplication: A Rare Cause of Recurrent Urinary Infection(2015) Cicek, Tufan; Kizilkan, Yalcin; Coban, Gokcen; Kosan, Murat; 0000-0002-4729-0100; 0000-0002-0784-9926; 25831685; P-7533-2014; ADD-5305-2022Urethral duplication is quite a rare congenital anomaly with ill-defined aetiology. 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.Item Skin-to-Stone Distance Has No Impact on Outcomes of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy(2014) Gonulalan, Umut; Akand, Murat; Coban, Gokcen; Cicek, Tufan; Kosan, Murat; Goktas, Serdar; Ozkardes, Hakan; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4010-2883; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0784-9926; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7277-449X; 24481206; P-7533-2014; AAH-1052-2020Objective: Skin-to-stone distance (SSD) is a stronger factor than body mass index in predicting the success of shock wave lithotripsy. We aimed to evaluate the impact of SSD on outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). Materials and Methods: The medical records of 1,280 patients who had undergone PCNL between April 2007 and February 2012 were evaluated retrospectively. 192 patients who had had preoperative non-contrasted computed tomography and single renal access were included the study. According to this median SSD value, patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (SSD <= 94 mm) (n = 92) and group 2 (SSD >94 mm) (n = 90). The groups were compared according to operative and postoperative parameters. Results: We found no significant differences between the two groups with regard to stone-free rate, operation time, fluoroscopy time, hospitalization time, visual analog score of pain, stone burden, transfusion rates and complication rates. On the other hand, the mean body mass index of group 1 was significantly lower than that of group 2 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: In this retrospective review of patients undergoing PCNL, we found that SSD has no impact on operative and postoperative outcomes. These results were in accordance with the safety of PCNL in obese patients. (c) 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel
