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...
It has been 15 years since the Food And Drug Administration approved the Da VinciĀ® robotic surgery system. Robotic applications are being used extensively in urology, particularly in radical prostatectomy. Like all high-...
Objective: We evaluated the course of the renal function and potential risk factors for renal deterioration in patients who had undergone radical cystectomy with ileal conduit diversion.
Materials and Methods: A retrospe...
Objective:The aim of this study is to compare ceftriaxone and cefazoline sodium antibiotic prophylaxis in terms of development of Systemic Inflammatory Response syndrome (SIRS)/urosepsis in patients undergoing percutaneo...
Anterior urethral valve (AUV) is a rare but well-defined congenital anomaly. AUV can be isolated or occur in association with anterior urethral diverticulum (AUD). Here, we present the first pediatric case report of AUV...

Does Prior Laparoscopic and Open Surgery Experience Have Any Impact on Learning Curve in Transition to Robotic Surgery?
It has been 15 years since the Food And Drug Administration approved the Da VinciĀ® robotic surgery system. Robotic applications are being used extensively in urology, particularly in radical prostatectomy. Like all high-...
The Course of Renal Function After Radical Cystectomy with Ileal Conduit Diversion for Bladder Cancer
Objective: We evaluated the course of the renal function and potential risk factors for renal deterioration in patients who had undergone radical cystectomy with ileal conduit diversion. Materials and Methods: A retrospe...
Comparison of Ceftriaxone and Cefazolin Sodium Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Terms of SIRS/Urosepsis Rates in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Objective:The aim of this study is to compare ceftriaxone and cefazoline sodium antibiotic prophylaxis in terms of development of Systemic Inflammatory Response syndrome (SIRS)/urosepsis in patients undergoing percutaneo...
Anterior Urethral Valve and Anterior Urethral Diverticulum with an Intradiverticular Stone: A Case Report and a Literature Review
Anterior urethral valve (AUV) is a rare but well-defined congenital anomaly. AUV can be isolated or occur in association with anterior urethral diverticulum (AUD). Here, we present the first pediatric case report of AUV...
