Item Does the sexual function of the spouses change after the TOT procedure?(2021) Turgut, Hasan; Hasirci, Eray; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4147-2966; 33386954; AAI-7997-2021Aim This prospective study aimed to evaluate sexual function in women who underwent transobturator tape (TOT) sling surgery and their male sexual partners compared to before the procedure. Materials and methods The study included a total of 202 women with stress urinary incontinence who underwent the TOT procedure between April 2018 and February 2020, and their partners. All of the women completed the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire while their partners completed the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire before and 6 months after the procedure. Results Mean IIQ-7 and UDI-6 scores were significantly lower at postoperative month 6 compared to preoperative values (p < 0.001). Mean FSFI scores were 22.5 +/- 1.7 preoperatively and 27.8 +/- 1.6 at postoperative month 6 (p < 0.001). Pain score did not change significantly (p = 0.4), but there were significant increases in the other FSFI domains of desire, arousal, lubrication, and satisfaction (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001). The partners' mean IIEF score was 50.05 +/- 5.4 preoperatively and increased to 59.7 +/- 6.8 postoperatively (p < 0.001). No significant differences were detected in erectile or orgasmic function (p = 0.16, p = 0.67), whereas desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction scores increased significantly (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001). Conclusion TOT surgery improves sexual function not only in women but also their partners.Item The relationship between serum irisin levels and erectile dysfunction in diabetic men (irisin and erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients)(2021) Kumsar, Sukru; Cigerli, Ozlem; Hasirci, Eray; Akay, Ali F.; Peskircioglu, Levent; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3700-4104; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4147-2966; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0389-9472; 33400308; AAD-5584-2021; AAI-7997-2021; S-4494-2019Irisin is an exercise-induced myokine that alleviates endothelial dysfunction and reduces insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus. We conducted this cross-sectional prospective study to determine the association of serum irisin levels and erectile dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients. We compared 34 diabetic patients with erectile dysfunction with 30 diabetic patients without erectile dysfunction. In our study, serum irisin levels were found to be statistically significantly higher in diabetic patients without erectile dysfunction compared to those with erectile dysfunction (p = .016) and according to correlation analysis, irisin levels had a significantly negative correlation with the serum HbA1C value (r = -.294, p = .018). Based on the results of our study, we think that this molecule can be used in the diagnosis or treatment of erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients, if these findings are supported by larger studies.Item The relationship between premature ejaculation and the timing of pre-adult circumcision(2021) Ongun, Sakir; Esen, Emre Cem; Ozer, Muhammed Selcuk; Yildirim, Omer; Hasirci, Eray; Sah, Cem; Sahin, Bahadir; Duran, Mesut Berkan; Cinar, Onder; Cihan, Ahmet; Kazaz, Ilke Onur; Gul, Umit; Deliktas, Hasan; Kizilkan, Yalcin; Altunkol, Adem; Kurt, Hasan Anil; Tosun, Cagatay; Bozkurt, Ozan; Turunc, Tahsin; Akkus, Emre; 0000-0002-4147-2966; 0000-0003-3249-0895; 33709439; AAI-7997-2021; AAK-8394-2021We aimed to investigate the relationship between premature ejaculation and the age when men had been circumcised before adulthood. A total of 2,768 sexually active male patients aged between 18 and 65 years were included in this study. A multicentre study was conducted prospectively with the participation of 20 centres. A survey consisting of 12 questions prepared by the researchers, as well as the validated Turkish versions of the five-item Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool, was administered to all participants. The study included 1,603 participants who met the inclusion criteria. There was no significant difference in the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool and self-reported ejaculation time between the participants who had been circumcised at different ages during childhood. Remembering circumcision experience with fear or anxiety did not increase the risk of sexual dysfunction compared to the participants who described their experience with happiness or with no particular emotion. There was no significant difference in Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool scores or the self-reported ejaculation time of the participants circumcised at different ages. The age of childhood circumcision, having a fearful or anxious circumcision experience, does not affect the risk of premature ejaculation in adult life.Item Does Bipolar Transuretral Resection of Prostate Increase the Incidence of Urethral Stricture?(2021) Hasirci, Eray; Kervancioglu, Enis; Ozkardes, Hakan; 0000-0002-4147-2966; 0000-0003-3465-9092; AAI-7997-2021; AAM-4475-2021Objective: Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) remains the gold standard surgical method for patients with benign prostate obstruction. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and complication rates of bipolar TURP applied with saline and monopolar TURP applied with glycine, performed by the same surgeon. Design: Retrospective study Setting: Department of Urology, Baskent University, Ankara, Turkey Subjects: Ninety-two patients who were scheduled for monopolar and bipolar TURP Intervention: All the surgical procedures were applied under spinal anesthesia and the procedure was done by the same surgeon. The cases were compared in respect of the time of the procedure, the amount of resected tissue, the speed of resection, length of hospital stay, irrigation duration, changes in serum haemoglobin, changes in maximum flow rate, changes in amount of post-voiding residual urine and complications. Main Outcome Measure: Urethral stricture Results: The operating time was longer in the bipolar group and associated with that, the resection speed was lower. Urethral stricture was found to be greater in the bipolar group (11 cases of the 58 bipolar TURP patients (18.96%) and in 2 cases of the 34 monopolar TURP patient (5.88%), P=.045). Conclusions: Bipolar TURP is as effective a technique as conventional TURP. However, urethral strictures significantly exist in bipolar group, even if it was done by the same surgeon.Item Complications and specimen quality in transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy: Comparison of 16G and 18G needles(2020) Bayraktar, Ahmet Murat; Olcucuoglu, Erkan; Hasirci, Eray; Nalbant, Ismail; Yesil, Suleyman; 0000-0002-4147-2966; AAI-7997-2021Objectives: To evaluate specimen quality, pathological results, complications and pain in transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy using 16 gauge (G) or 18G biopsy needles Design: Retrospective study Setting: Turkiye Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital, Ankara, Turkey Subjects: Retrospective analysis of 243 TRUS guided prostate biopsies between March 2011 and April 2016 Interventions: Group 1 (n=121) underwent TRUS guided prostate biopsy using a 16 G needle and Group 2 (n=122) underwent TRUS guided prostate biopsy with an 18 G-needle. Main outcome measures: We compared two biopsy needle sizes (16G vs 18G) in relation to sample quality, prostate cancer detection rate, pain, bleeding and infection rates in 243 patients. Core fragmentation and short specimen length (<10mm) rate were the sample quality criteria. Pain was evaluated using visual analog scale (VAS). Results: There were no statistically significant differences in mean patient ages, prostate-specific antigen values and prostate volumes between groups 1 and 2. Sixteen gauge needles caused significantly less fragmentation of the biopsy cores when compared to 18G needles (p=0.00), but no statistically significant difference between two groups was recorded for pathological results (p=0.72) and shorter specimen length (p=0.567). Haematuria, rectal bleeding and infection were similar in both groups. Mean VAS score of group 1 was significantly greater than that of group 2 (3.19 vs 2.66;p=0.027). Conclusion: Though thicker needles provided better sampling quality, the cancer detection rate was not altered by the needle size. Also, even though complication rates were similar for different needle sizes, the 18G needles were better tolerated.
