Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the perioperative risk factors for postoperative fever (POF)/systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) among geriatric patients after semi-rigid ureterorenoscopy...
We report a case of a broken re-entry Malecot nephrostomy tube inserted after an uneventful percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedure. The remained parts within the renal pelvis and around the kidney were removed usi...
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) renal cortical scintigraphy and Tc-99m diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) and Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99...
Objective: Acute scrotum is a urological emergency that can result in loss of the testis if the differential diagnosis is not made immediately. Testicular torsion (TT) and epididymo-orchitis (EO) are the two most common...
Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
Materials and Methods: Preoperative NLR value in 125 patients who underwent surgical treatment for re...
Postoperative Fever and Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome after Ureteroscopy for Stone Disease in the Geriatric Population: Risk Factors and Determinants
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the perioperative risk factors for postoperative fever (POF)/systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) among geriatric patients after semi-rigid ureterorenoscopy...
Percutaneous Removal of a Broken Malecot Nephrostomy Tube
We report a case of a broken re-entry Malecot nephrostomy tube inserted after an uneventful percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedure. The remained parts within the renal pelvis and around the kidney were removed usi...
Comparison of 99mTc-DMSA, 99mTc-DTPA and 99mTc-MAG3 Renal Scintigraphy in the Calculation of Relative Renal Function
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (99mTc-DMSA) renal cortical scintigraphy and Tc-99m diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) and Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (99...
Are Haematological Parameters Reliable for Differential Diagnosis of Testicular Torsion and Epididymitis?
Objective: Acute scrotum is a urological emergency that can result in loss of the testis if the differential diagnosis is not made immediately. Testicular torsion (TT) and epididymo-orchitis (EO) are the two most common...
Evaluation of the Prognostic Value of Preoperative Neutrophil-tolymphocyte Ratio in Renal Cell Carcinoma
Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Materials and Methods: Preoperative NLR value in 125 patients who underwent surgical treatment for re...
