Item Antioxidant treatment of increased sperm DNA fragmentation: Complex combinations are not more successful(2020) Ozer, Cevahir; 0000-0002-7850-6912; 33348968; AAM-2222-2020Objective: Oral antioxidant supplementation is part of the treatment of infertility associated with oxidative stress-related sperm damage. It is possible to assume that the combined use of antioxidants will be better than single agent use. The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of different antioxidant combinations in infertile men with increased sperm DNA fragmentation. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 637 patients who underwent antioxidant support therapy for increased sperm DNA damage between 2014 and 2019. Patients with DNA damage of 30% or more were included study. Result: A total of 163 patients with follow-up data and who fulfilled the study criteria were included in the study. There were four different treatment groups. No statistically significant differences were found between the groups. After 3 months of antioxidant treatment, there was a statistically significant decrease in sperm DNA damage in all treatment groups. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the treatment groups. Conclusions: The complexity of the antioxidant combination may not contribute to the success of the treatment or may cause possible side effects, increase the cost of treatment and decrease patient compliance.Item Clinical results of shock wave lithotripsy treatment in elderly patients with kidney stones: Results of 1433 patients(2020) Ozer, Cevahir; Tekin, Mehmet Ilteris; 0000-0002-7850-6912; 33348965; AAM-2222-2020Objective: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SWL treatment in elderly patients with kidney stones. Materials and methods: Data from a total of 3024 patients who underwent SWL treatment for urinary tract stone disease in three centers of our university were evaluated retrospectively. A total of 1433 patients in the adult age group treated for single kidney stones were included in the study. The patients were divided into 3 groups (18-40, 41-64 and >= 65) years depending on their age. Demographic data, stone parameters, stone-free rate (SFR) and clinically insignificant residual fragment (CIRF) rate, number of SWL sessions and complication rate were analyzed according to the age groups. Results: The mean age of the patients was 47.38 +/- 13.24 years. Stone size was significantly lower in the 18-40 years age group compared to other groups (p = 0.000) and the stones were mostly located on the right side in this age group (p = 0.007). There was no significant relationship between age groups and gender, stone localization, and number of SWL sessions. The overall SFR was 66.4%. Although the SFR was lower (61.4%) and the rate of multiple sessions (27.2%) was higher in >= 65 years group, there was no statistically significant difference between age groups regarding SFR, CIRF, need for additional sessions, and complication rates. Conclusions: Due to its similar clinical results, treatment of SWL should not be ignored as a treatment option in the geriatric patient group with kidney stones.Item Papillary renal cell carcinoma within a renal oncocytoma: Case report of very rare coexistence(2014) Ozer, Cevahir; Goren, Mehmet Resit; Egilmez, Tulga; Bal, Nebil; 25553171Renal oncocytomas accounts for 3% to 9% of primary renal neoplasms. The coexistence of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) within the oncocytoma is extremely rare. We report the case of an asyptomatic 74-year-old man with papillary RCC within oncocytoma managed with left radical nephrectomy.Item Author response: Papillary RCC and oncocytoma: Longer follow-up reported(2015) Ozer, Cevahir; Goren, Mehmet Resit; Egilmez, Tulga; Bal, Nebil; 26085864Item Bilateral renal leiomyoma with 5 year follow-up: Case report(2015) Goren, Mehmet Resit; Erbay, Gurcan; Ozer, Cevahir; Goren, Vinil; Bal, Nebil; 26664510Renal leiomyomas are exceptionally rare benign tumours of the kidney. Although the renal leiomyomas usually do not metastasize, the differential diagnosis between renal leiomyomas and malign lesions (leiomyosarcoma or renal cell carcinoma) cannot be done by radiological examinations, but is possible by histological examination. Surgery is the preferred treatment. After surgery, the prognosis is excellent without recurrence. Although uterine leiomyomas can be multicentric, renal leiomyomas have been single lesions. We report an incidentally detected case of bilateral renal leiomyoma in a 50-year-old woman with a 5-year follow-up. We also review the literature and discuss clinical, radiological and histological features of renal leiomyomas.
