Item Ability of ESWL nomograms to predict stone-free rate in children(2021) Ceyhan, Erman; Ozer, Cevahir; Ozturk, Bulent; Tekin, Mehmet Ilteris; Aygun, Yuksel Cem; 0000-0001-8223-6399; 0000-0002-6232-4313; 0000-0002-7850-6912; 33867289; ABI-2513-2020; AAM-3015-2021; AAM-2222-2020Introduction We aimed to evaluate whether the pediatric extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) nomograms can predict stone-free status in children effectively and whether they are applicable to our series. We hypothesize that two current nomograms predicting successful treatment with ESWL in pediatric patients are valid. Study design We evaluated 415 renal units (children <18 years) with eligible data who received ESWL treatment for upper urinary tract stones. Children's age, gender, stone size, stone surface area, stone location and history of previous intervention were recorded. Children with no residual fragments after ESWL treatment were designated as stone-free. The nomograms described by Dogan and Onal were implemented to our series for the prediction of stone-free status. Results Mean age of children was 64.7 +/- 57.2 months. Male to female ratio was 219:196.78.8% (327) of children had single stone. Mean stone size was 10.0 +/- 3.7 mm and mean stone surface area was 380.0 +/- 72.2 mm(2). Our stone-free rate after single ESWL session was 52.5% (218/415). Mean residual stone size and stone surface area after single session was 6.4 +/- 3.3 mm and 36.0 +/- 44.2 mm(2) respectively. There were no significant difference between stone-free children and children with residual fragments regarding gender, age and history of previous intervention. Mean stone size and stone surface area in stone-free children were lower and lower pole stones had the lowest stone-free rate (p < 0.05). Area under curve for Dogan and Onal nomogram were 0.628 and 0.580 respectively in ROC analysis (0.05). The agreement between Dogan and Onal score was moderate in our series. In multivariate analysis only stone surface area and Dogan score found to be independent predictors of stone-free status (p < 0.05). Discussion Only one study has assessed both nomograms in the literature. Both nomograms are reported to be independent predictors of stone free status. ROC analysis in our study revealed fair accuracy for both nomograms with higher area under curve for Dogan nomogram. Higher accuracy for both nomograms were reported by other authors. These nomograms offer practical data but more effective tools are needed to be developed for the prediction of stone-free status in pediatric ESWL. Conclusions Stone size and stone surface area are associated with stone clearance. Dogan and Onal nomograms can be useful in prediction of stone-free status in children. Dogan nomogram is superior to Onal nomogram. [GRAPHICS]Item Management of transient ejaculation failure due to erectile difficulties encountered on the oocyte retrieval day(2020) Ozer, Cevahir; Goren, Mehmet Resit; Aytac, Pinar Caglar; 0000-0002-7850-6912; 0000-0002-2001-1386; 31350169; AAM-2222-2020; Y-6143-2019Introduction: Transient ejaculation failure can be seen on the oocyte retrieval day which might cause the cancetation of oocyte retrieval procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the management of these patients and to assess the clinical outcome of intracytoptasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using spermatozoa obtained from them. Methods: The records of the oocyte pick-up (OPU) procedures between November 2014 and January 2017 were reviewed, the management and ICSI outcomes of 26 patients with transient ejaculation failure due to erectile difficulties on the oocyte retrieval day were evaluated. Results: Intracavemosat injection (ICI), percutaneous sperm aspiration (PESA) and microdissection testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) were performed to 15, 6 and 5 patients, respectively. The sperm retrieval rate (SRR) and live birth rate (LBR) of ICI, PESA and micro-TESE were 26%, 63.6% and 100% and 40%, 16.7%, 38.4% respectively. Conclusions: Although a limited number of cases were evaluated in this study, micro-TESE appears to be the preferable approach when assessed both in terms of sperm retrieval method success and ICSI results.

This study aims to evaluate the sexual dysfunction related effects of dialysis modality among male patients with chronic renal failure. All patients were asked to complete 2 questionnaires: Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale [HADS] and International Index of Erectile Function [IIEF-5]. A total of 51 patients who completed the questionnaires were included in the study. 31 of them were under haemodialysis (HD) treatment, and 20 were under peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment. After adjustment for age and HADS score, there was no statistically significant difference between HD and PD groups in terms of the mean IIEF scores (55 vs. 40,p = .058), and the frequency of sexual dysfunction (12.9% vs. 30%,p = .163). Age (r = -0.553), blood pressure (r = -0.299/ -0.374), use of iron (r = -0.333), lipid levels (r = -0.281/ -0.276) and HADS-D score (r = -0.276) inversely associated with IIEF score (p < .05). To conclude, sexual dysfunction is more common in patients who receive PD therapy than those who receive HD therapy. Older age, higher blood pressure, iron treatment, higher lipid levels and the presence of depression were associated with higher prevalance of sexual dysfunction.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.Item Bariatric Surgery and Urinary Stone Disease(2016) Ozer, Cevahir; Egilmez, Tulga; 0000-0002-7850-6912; 0000-0001-5644-5672; 0000-0001-6037-7991; AAM-2222-2020; AAK-9166-2021Obesity is a major public health problem and has been suggested to play a role in the etiology of urinary tract stone disease. Furthermore, the increasingly widespread use of surgery in the treatment of obesity also is related with urinary stone disease. In daily practice, patients to whom obesity surgery has been planned or who have undergone obesity surgery are seen more frequently. This review aims to highlight the urological evaluation and management of this patient group.
