    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the value of direct and indirect markers showing inflammation in the diagnosis of Brucella epididymo-orchitis (BEO) and its differentiation from non-Brucella epididymo-orchitis. Material and Methods: A total of 152 patients that presented to our clinic with acute scrotal complaints and were diagnosed with epididymo-orchitis between January 2015 and January 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. Excluded from the study were 15 patients with a hematologic disease, coronary artery disease or malignant diagnosis, eight patients aged below 18 years, and 13 patients whose hemogram and C-reactive protein (CRP) values were not available in their medical records. The diagnosis of epididymo-orchitis was based on laboratory (leukocytosis, CRP elevation) and radiological findings. The diagnosis of BEO was defined as ≥1/160 titer value and/or positive blood culture in the standard tube agglutination (STA) test in addition to orchitis symptoms and signs. Results: The median WBC (p=0.033), neutrophil (p=0.013) and monocyte (p=0.006) counts and NL (p=0.014) and ML (p=0.002) ratios were statistically significantly lower in the BEO group. The ML ratio had the highest predictive value with an AUC of 0.725 (95% CI = 0.146-0.424; p=0.002), as well as high specificity (97.3%) and diagnostic accuracy (83.5%) in predicting a BEO diagnosis. No parameter was an independent factor in the differentiation of BEO and NBEO. Conclusions: Easy, fast and low-cost hemotological inflammatory markers provide diagnostic benefits complementing serological tests in distinguishing BEO from NBEO cases. In particular, MLR has a high diagnostic accuracy compared to other parameters

    Abstract Objective: To compare the postoperative outcomes including the cosmetic results of robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) performed with and without assistant port in pediatric population.
    Methods: 47 patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction consecutively underwent RALP were stratified as: three-port (Group 1, n = 26) and four-port (Group 2, n = 21). In Group 1, no assistant port was placed and double-J stent was introduced with the aid of an angiocatheter via the percutaneous route. In group 2, an assistant port was placed. The Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS), the Vancouver Scar Scale(VSS), Satava, Clavien classification systems, and success rates were compared.
    Results: We found similar success rates for both groups (group 1:96.2%, group 2:100%). Two groups were similar in terms of improvement in the postoperative anteroposterior diameter of the renal pelvis and parenchymal thickness. There was no difference in terms of perioperative and postoperative complication rates (group 1:19.2%, group 2:9.5%). The total PSAS was significantly lower in Group 1 (p < 0.008). No difference was observed for VSS and OSAS.
    Conclusions: Using an assistant port does not improve the success or complications of RALP, while the cosmetic outcomes are inferior to three-port RALP in children. We suggest avoiding the use of assistant port during RALP in children.

    Abstract Objectives: As an effective and minimally invasive technique, ureteroscopy has some potential intraoperative complications. Ureteral avulsion is among these complications, although rare. This study aimed to determine factors predicting nephrectomy by considering ureteral avulsion from a medicolegal perspective for the 1st time in the literature.
    Methods: A total of 33 patients with ureteral avulsion during ureteroscopic surgery, who presented to various hospitals in Turkey between September 2004 and April 2019 and whose cases were being reviewed at the Institution of Forensic Medicine with regard to malpractice, were evaluated retrospectively. The patients who underwent nephrectomy after ureteral avulsion were evaluated as Group 1, and those who underwent reconstructive surgery as Group 2.
    Results: The mean age of the patients was 39.5±12.1 years. Seventeen (51.5%) patients had partial and 16 (48.4%) had complete ureteral avulsion. Nephrectomy was performed in 14 (42.4%) patients, and ureteral reconstruction in 19 (57.5%) patients. It was determined that the patients in Group 1 had more proximal stones and a higher degree of hydronephrosis compared to Group 2. Complete avulsion developed in 71.4% of the patients in Group 1 and in 31.6% of those in Group 2. After avulsion, 78.6% of the patients in Group 1 were treated in a state hospital, and 63.2% of those in Group 2 were treated in a tertiary referral hospital. The increase in the degree of hydronephrosis, presence of complete avulsion, and intervention at a state hospital were determined as independent predictive factors for nephrectomy.
    Conclusion: This is the first study with the largest cohort in the literature to medicolegally evaluate ureteral avulsion and determine predictive factors for nephrectomy. Although each patient should be treated with different methods in the presence of ureteral avulsion, our study aimed to provide a common approach to this catastrophic complication.

    Abstract Objectives: In this study, we aimed to compare the outcomes and complication rates of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in elderly patients.
    Materials and methods: Between April 2011 and January 2020, patients who underwent PCNL and RIRS for renal stone in elderly patients were retrospectively evaluated. The two groups' perioperative values, stone-free rates and complication rates were compared. Post-operative complications were noted according to the Clavien scoring system.
    Results: There were 89 and 72 patients in the PCNL and RIRS group respectively. The median age was 67 years in both the groups (P = .192). The stone size were 22.2 ± 3.5 mm and 19.9 ± 7.1 mm in the PCNL and RIRS group, respectively (P = .082). Stone-free rates were significantly higher in PCNL group (P = .021, P = .034). Also we found that overall complication and major complication rates were significantly higher in PCNL group (P = .016, P = .029).
    Conclusion: Despite there was higher stone clearance in PCNL, the complication rates were higher compared with RIRS. So RIRS might be a safe alternative treatment method to PCNL in older patients.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the effect of lower and middle calyceal accesses on the outcomes of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) in staghorn stones.
    Study design: Observational study.
    Place and duration of study: Department of Urology, University of Health Sciences, Izmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital, Turkey, from April 2012 to January 2019.
    Methodology: Patients who underwent PCNL for staghorn stones were retrospectively analysed. The patients were grouped as Group-1 (middle calyceal access) and Group-2 (lower calyceal access). Demographic and stone characteristics (size, density), perioperative and postoperative data, and stone-free rates were compared between these two groups. Postoperative detection of > 4 mm stones was defined as residual stones.
    Results: There were 249 patients in the study; 108 in middle calyceal access group and 141 in lower calyceal access group. The mean stone burden was 765 (524-1322) and 777 (490-1445) mm2 in group-1 and group-2, respectively (p=0.876). The number of stone-free patients was 50 (46.3%) in middle calyceal access group and 93 (66.0%) in lower calyceal access group. The rate of stone-free status was significantly higher in lower calyceal access group (p=0.002). The overall complication rate was similar between the groups (p=0.132). The binary analysis showed that stone burden, and calyx of entry were predictive factors for success.
    Conclusion: Although the choice of the calyx to be entered does not affect the complication rate in staghorn stones, the stone-free rate is significantly higher in lower calyceal access. Key Words: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy, Staghorn stones, Clavien scoring system, Calyx, Access.

    Abstract Objective: To comparatively investigate the efficacy, safety and complications of flexible ureterorenoscopy (f-URS) in the treatment of patients of different age groups (<60, 60-74 and ≥75 years) with proximal ureteral and kidney stones.
    Study design: Descriptive study.
    Place and duration of study: Department of Urology, HSU Izmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital, HSU Ankara Diskapi Training, Research Hospital, and Mustafa Kemal University Faculty of Medicine, between March 2014 and June 2020.
    Methodology: Nine hundred and fifty-six patients, who underwent f-URS due to proximal ureteral and kidney stones, were divided into three age groups as <60 years (Group 1), 60-74 years (Group 2) and ≥75 year (Group 3). The patients' American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), anticoagulant use, stone-free rates and surgical and medical complication rates were examined for each group.
    Results: There were 688 patients in Group 1, 230 in Group 2, and 38 in Group 3. A significant difference was observed between the age groups in terms of CCI and anticoagulant use (p<0.001 for both). The highest rate of medical complications was observed in Group 3 at 42.1%, followed by Group 2 at 17.8%, while the lowest rate was observed in Group 1 at 2.3% (p<0.001). As a result of the multivariate analysis, receiving anticoagulant treatment (p=0.002) and having a high CCI (p=0.005) were independent predictors of medical complication development.
    Conclusion: It was clearly demonstrated that f-URS could be used as a safe and effective alternative for the treatment of moderate-size kidney stones in all age groups. Key Words: Elderly, Geriatric patients, RIRS, Holmium laser lithotripsy, Urolithiasis, Safety, Efficacy.

    Abstract Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the factors of prolonged urinary leakage (PUL) after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and develop a new and simple scoring system to predict it.
    Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with renal stones who underwent PCNL at the University of Health Sciences Izmir Bozyaka Training and Research Hospital between April 2011 and January 2020. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of PUL, and their preoperative and perioperative data were compared. A multivariate regression analysis was applied to examine the relationship between perioperative descriptors and PUL, and a nomogram was developed using significant predictors. Then, the individual components of the nomogram were assigned points to form a scoring system.
    Results: There were 92 and 840 patients in the groups with and without PUL, respectively. The results of the univariate logistic regression analysis showed that hydronephrosis grade, parenchymal thickness, duration of nephroscopy, and duration of nephrostomy catheter were significantly associated with PUL. Subsequently, a multivariate regression analysis was carried out with these four factors as possible independent risk factors of PUL after PCNL. Based on the results of this analysis, a nomogram prediction model was developed with an area under the curve value of 0.811, which was consequently used to develop a new simple score system consisting of three characteristics: parenchymal thickness (1-5 points), duration of nephroscopy (1-3 points), and hydronephrosis grade (1-3 points).
    Conclusion: A novel scoring system is a useful tool for predicting PUL in patients who have undergone percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
