Öğe A bibliometric perspective with research trends and global productivity on the modernization of andrology from the founder of modern clinical andrology Edward Martin to the present(Verduci Editore, 2023) Ekici, Musa; Demir, Emre; Aydın, CemilOBJECTIVE: The number of studies in the field of andrology is increasing day by day, but a bibliometric study covering the entire literature on andrology has not yet been conducted. This bibliometric study aims to shed light on the question of where we came from and where we are going in andrology from past to present. It also aimed to summarize the intellectual structure of andrology to reveal global productivity and identify and map the latest trends of scientific articles published in the field of andrology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 16,659 articles published between 1980 and 2022 were extracted from the Web of Science and analyzed using various statistical methods. Bibliometric network visualization maps revealed trending topics, global productivity, the most influential studies, and international collaborations. Spearman’s correlation analysis was used for determining correlations. RESULTS: The top three productive countries were United States of America (3,452; 20.7%), China (2,300; 13.8%), and Germany (1,069; 6.4%). The top two most productive authors were Agarwal A. (n=130) and Nieschlag E. (n=130). The most productive institution was the Egyptian Knowledge Bank (n=422). From past to present, the most studied subjects were testis, male infertility, spermatozoa, testosterone, infertility, erectile dysfunction, spermatogenesis, sperm, prostate cancer (PCA)/neoplasms, oxidative stress, fertility/fertilization, semen, rat(s), apoptosis, azoospermia, sperm motility, human and varicocele. CONCLUSIONS: The trend topics that have been researched more in recent years include erectile dysfunction, oxidative stress, prostate cancer, sperm quality, sperm parameters, infertility, premature ejaculation, diabetes mellitus, obesity, prognosis, sperm DNA fragmentation/damage, antioxidant, asthenozoospermia, varicocelectomy, COVID-19, inflammation, prostatectomy, metabolic syndrome, hypogonadism, benign prostatic hyperplasia, lower urinary tract symptoms, meta-analysis, sexual dysfunction, peyronie’s disease, and proliferation. We identified the research leadership of China, Japan, Turkey and India, in addition to Western countries, such as the USA and European countries.Öğe A novel complication following retrograde intrarenal surgery: Retroperitoneal hematoma(College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan, 2019) Özgür, Berat Cem; Ekici, MusaRetrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) is an efficient method for kidney stones with low complication rates. Reported here is an unusual complication of this surgery; a retroperitoneal hematoma 8x7.5x5 cm in dimension in a 40-year female, which was completely resolved by conservative treatment. This is the first reported case of retroperitoneal hematoma following RIRS in the literature. Although this technique is safe, feasible and minimally invasive for kidney stones, urologists should be vigilant for such a complication. © 2019 College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan.

Study Design: An observational study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Urology, Hitit University Corum Training and Research Hospital, Corum, Turkey, from October 2014 and October 2017. Methodology: Preoperative and postoperative data of 62 cases of renal calculi that underwent fluoroscopy-free RIRS procedure by a single surgeon were prospectively evaluated. All manipulations were performed with a novel technique; under direct vision during the operation. Fluoroscopy device was kept at hand in the operating room, but was not used. Results: The mean age was found as 51.73 ±12.63 (22-82) years. Fortyone patients (66.1%) were males and 21 (33.9%) were females. The mean size of stones were 19.29 ±7.64 (10-40) mm. The stone-free rate was calculated as 42 (67.7%) cases in a single session one month after the surgery, and 15 (24.2%) cases after the second session at the postoperative first month. A total of 57/61 (91.9%) patients were stone-free after the second procedure. No major intraoperative and postoperative complications were observed. As for the minor complications, one patient (1.6%) developed hematuria and four patients (6.5%) had fever. Conclusion: The described fluoroscopy-free RIRS procedure can be performed effectively and safely in patients diagnosed with renal calculi, by endourologists. © 2019 Dustri-Verlag Dr. Karl Feistle.

Methods: The case-control study was done at Hitit University Erol Olcok Training and Research Hospital, Turkey, and comprised patient data between January 2014 and September 2016 that was compared with age-matched controls with no history of erectile dysfunction who were randomly chosen from patients attending the urology clinic. Platelet count and other platelet indices were measured in both cases and healthy controls. Erectile status of the patients was evaluated by using International Index of Erectile Function- 5 questionnaire. Results: There were 203 cases and 102 controls. The mean Index scores of the cases was 12.86±4.55 and that of the controls was 24.65±3.25 (p<0.001). Platelet levels were higher in cases than controls (p<0.001). But there was no statistically significant difference between the groups according to mean platelet volume values (p=0.309). Conclusion: Platelet values can be used as an early biomarker for erectile dysfunction. © 2018, Pakistan Medical Association.

Material and Methods Data compiled from 5,500 children, aged between five to 16 years, diagnosed with enuresis during the period from January 2010 to December 2015 were analyzed. The inclusion criteria were having a diagnosis of monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis, a birth date known for certain, and complete family history taken. A total of 3,547 children met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. The study was performed by retrospective analyses. Results Analysis of the results revealed a statistically significant difference among the rates of enuresis with respect to months and seasons (p < 0.001). In our study, we retrospectively reevaluated 3,500 patients for their birth dates and determined a statistically significant difference in the rates of nocturnal enuresis with respect to seasons (p < 0.001). Conclusion As a result of this study, we determined that monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis in children is more frequent, particularly in those born during the summer months.Öğe Clot Retention: Our Experiences with a Simple New Technique of Evacuation with a Thoracic Catheter(Cureus Inc, 2019) Aydın, Cemil; Şentürk, Aykut Buğra; Akkoç, Ali; Topaktaş, Ramazan; Aydın, Zeynep Banu; Ekici, MusaIntroduction: Clot retention in the urinary bladder is a very common health problem in surgical and nonsurgical cases and clot retention treatment is quite costly. Objectives: The aim of this retrospective study was to describe an alternative technique for removing tenacious and chronic clots by using a thoracic catheter technique. Materials and methods: Between January 2011 and June 2018, a total of 27 patients of clot retention were treated under local anesthesia with the thoracic catheter technique. Results: Twenty-seven patients with a mean age of 58 years (range 45-70) were included. The etiologies of bladder clots included surgical causes and nonsurgical causes. Of the surgical causes, the most common cause was post-transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The nonsurgical causes were upper tract bleeding, drug-induced bleeding, post-traumatic bleeding, and haematochyluria. It was found that the thoracic catheter technique was simple and easily adoptable, with no training required. Conclusions: Clot retention in the urinary bladder is a very common problem in surgical and nonsurgical cases. Our technique is a simple, safe, fast, and effective option of clot removal from the urinary bladder and it doesn't require any added cost.Öğe Combination or Alone? Which one is the Best in Premature Ejaculation Treatment?(2020) Şentürk, Aykut Buğra; Yılmaz, Ali Haydar; Çakıroğlu, Basri; Yaytokgil, Muhammet; Sungur, Mustafa; Aykan, Serdar; Ekici, MusaIntroduction: To compare the effectiveness of tadalafil alone and in combination with dapoxetine in patients with premature ejaculation. Methods: In this study, 120 patients treated at the urology clinic for premature ejaculation were evaluated prospectively. IELT and IIEF forms of patients were filled before this study, and their urological examinations were performed. Patients that were being treated were divided into two groups. Patients in group 1 received only 5 mg tadalafil, whereas patients in group 2 received a combination of dapoxetine 30 mg and tadalafil 5 mg. Results: After the treatment, group 1 mean IEFF scores were 25.12±2.49, and mean IELT scores were 7.35±4.37 seconds. There was a statistically significant increase in both parameters (p<0.001). After the treatment, group 2 mean IEFF scores were 27.37±2.46, and mean IELT scores were 9.07±4.20 seconds. There was a statistically significant increase in both parameters (p<0.001). Discussion and Conclusion: Use of dapoxetine in combination with tadalafil instead of using tadalafil alone in the treatment of premature ejaculation will increase treatment success.Öğe Comparing use of lidocaine periprostatic nerve block and diclofenac suppository alone for patients undergoing transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy(Polish Urological Association, 2018) Şentürk, Aykut Buğra; Yaytokgil, Muhammet; Ekici, Musa; Sarı, Sercan; Demir, Emre; Çakıroğlu, BasriIntroduction The objective of this study is to make a comparison between the effectiveness of the diclofenac suppository alone and periprostatic local anaesthesia infiltration alone to reduce the pain during a transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy procedure. Material and methods Between January 2014 and December 2015, 100 patients from two centres who were scheduled for transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy (TRUS Bx) were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups; diclofenac suppository group (Group 1) and Lidocaine group (Group 2). After the prostate biopsy, patients were requested to fill out a visual analogue scale in order to evaluate their pain level during the procedure. Results Since each group had been examined for VAS score, statistical differences were detected for VAS 0 and VAS 1. VAS 0 score was stated in 38 (71%) patients in Group 2, and in 25 (50%) patients in Group 1 (p = 0.040). VAS 1 score was stated in 9 (17%) patients in group 2 and 19 (38%) patients in Group 1 (p = 0.030). Conclusions Although statistical difference was detected at lower VAS scores (0 and 1) in favor of the lidocaine group during transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsies, there was not a significant difference in higher (>2) VAS scores; which was made with 100 mg of diclofenac suppository. Therefore, diclofenac suppository can be used as an alternative to periprostatic nerve block made with lidocaine. © 2018, Polish Urological Association.

We retrospectively evaluated the complications of 290 consecutive patients who had undergone standard or totally tubeless PCNL at four institutes between January 2010 and August 2012 based on the modified Clavien scale. The totally tubeless cases were classified as Group 1 and the cases to which a Malecot re-entry catheter was applied were classified as Group 2. The postoperative complications were recorded according to the modified Clavien complication grading system. Statistically significant differences were observed only in the first-degree injury class between the two groups based on the modified Clavien classification. The requirement for blood transfusion and prolonged percutaneous access site leakage were more frequent in Group 2, but these differences were not statistically significant. We also performed a pain evaluation by monitoring postoperative analgesia demands. In Group 1, the analgesic demand rates in the 1st and 6th postoperative hours were 64.6% and 31.5%, respectively. In Group 2, the analgesic demand rates were 87.5% and 58.75% in the 1st and 6th postoperative hours, respectively. The mean ± standard deviation of analgesic doses in the first 6 hours was 0.96 ± 0.7 and 1.46 ± 0.6 in Groups 1 and 2, respectively. These differences were statistically significant. Based on our results, we can conclude that the tubeless technique has fewer complications, improved postoperative patient comfort, shorter hospitalization times, and a reduced need for analgesics, suggesting that tubeless PCNL should be the standard approach. For suitable cases, this technique may be used safely as the standard PCNL approach. Copyright © 2014, Kaohsiung Medical University. Published by Elsevier Taiwan LLC.

In this study, we compared the efficiency and safety of Amplatz, Alken, and balloon dilation methods in the creation of the access tract. Materials and Methods: Data from 487 PNL patients admitted to 517 renal units in 3 centers were analyzed. The Amplatz (280 patients), Alken (142 patients), and balloon (95 patients) dilation methods were compared for their success, duration of the dilation, injury to the collecting system, durations of fluoroscopy and surgery, stone-free and complication rates, pre- and postoperative hematocrit levels, and need for blood transfusion. Results: The dilation methods did not significantly differ with respect to patient demographic data, mean stone area, decrease in hematocrit, need for blood transfusion, unsuccessful tract dilation, injury to the collecting system, stone-free rate, and rate of postoperative complications. The mean fluoroscopy times during Amplatz, Alken, and balloon dilation were 288.52 ± 164.67, 287.34 ± 164.99, and 169.23 ± 21 seconds, respectively. The mean duration of surgery was 96.48 ± 46.07, 94.72 ± 42.25, and 78 ± 25.96 minutes, respectively. The duration of tract creation was 328.67 ± 172.99, 325.14 ± 175.70, and 203.50 ± 32.76 seconds, respectively. The durations of surgery and tract creation were significantly shorter in the balloon dilation group. Conclusion: None of the dilation methods was significantly superior in terms of surgical success, efficiency, or safety. Although balloon dilation was advantageous with respect to time parameters, the role of surgical experience should not be ignored. © Copyright 2016, Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. 2016.Öğe Comparison of penile prosthesis methods: Which is more successful?(Derman Medical Publishing, 2017) Esengen, Selçuk; Nalbant, İsmail; Öztürk, Ufuk; Tuygun, Can; Yıldız, Serkan; Ekici, Musa; İmamoğlu, Muhammed AbdurrahimAim: To compare patient and partner satisfaction rates after implantation of malleable and two piece inflatable penile protheses in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Material and Method: The modified Erectile Dysfunction Inventory of Treatment Satisfaction (EDITS) questionnaire was administered six months after implantation of penile prostheses in 65 patients. 40 patients with malleable (Promedon-Tube) prostheses and 25 patients with two- piece inflatable (Ambicore) prostheses between February 2008 and May 2016 and the results were analyzed. Results: The percentages of patients with malleable penile prostheses and partners who reported they were very satisfied with their prostheses were 77.5% and 87.5% respectively. For patients with two- piece inflatable penile prostheses and partners these percentages were 88% and 96%. There was no statistical significance between patients and partners in terms of satisfaction. There was no statistically significant difference between patients using the two different penile protheses in terms of answers to the modified EDITS questionnaires. For patients and partners the overall satisfaction percentages were 80 % (52/65), and 89.2 % (58/65) respectively. Discussion: Both penile prostheses provided high patient and partner satisfaction © 2017, Derman Medical Publishing.

Materials and methods: A total of 143 patients meeting the criteria were included in the study. Patients were divided into three homogeneous drug groups which were tamsulosin group (n:48), alfuzosin group (n:47) and silodosin group (n:48). The time of stone expulsion, analgesic needs, side effects of the medicine and endoscopic intervention needs of the patients were recorded. Results: The rate of stone expulsion was 70.8% (n:34) in tamsulosin group, 70.2% (n:33) in alfuzosin group, and 75% (n:36) in silodosin group. No significant difference was observed among the rates of stone expulsion in three groups, and the rates of stone expulsion were similar (p = 0.778). The duration of stone expulsion was significantly different in the groups (p = 0.012): the time of stone expulsion for tamsulosin was 2.33 ± 0.78 days longer than for Silodosin, indicating a significant difference. There was no significant difference between tamsulosin-alfuzosin and silodosin-alfuzosin (respectively p = 0.147, p = 0.925). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that medical expulsive therapy by using alpha blocker agents is safe and efficacious. This option must be kept in mind for patients who do not ask for surgery as the first-step treatment for eligible patients. © 2018 Edizioni Scripta Manent s.n.c.

Study Design: An observational study. Place and Duration of Study: Departments of Urology, University of Health Sciences, Ankara Research and Training Hospital, Ankara, and corum Hitit University, Corum, Turkey from April 2019 to January 2020. Methodology: Patients with kidney stones up to 3 cm in maximal diameter on computarised tomography (CT) scan, were divided into two groups according to age (<60 vs. >= 60 years ). RIRS was performed. Demographics, clinical data, and complications were recorded and compared. Results: Mean age of 78 patients was 52.47 +/- 13.28 years. There were no significant difference in gender, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) scores, operation time, number of multiple sessions, success rates of outcome and complication rates between groups. At the end of the first session, stone-free rates were 91.1% vs 87.9% in younger and elderly groups, respectively; while, after the second session, all patients were stone-free in both groups. Fever, hematuria (macroscopic, more than 24 hours), and perirenal hematoma were the observed complications. Postoperative hematocrit levels significantly decreased without any need of transfusion; there were significant differences in the preoperative and postoperative creatinine levels (p=0.002) in the older group. Conclusion: RIRS is a safe and effective method for treating kidney stones up to 3 centimeter diameter in all age groups. Although hemorrhagic events are mostly clinically unremarkable, there is a risk of renal function impairment in older (>= 60 years) patients. Preoperative hydration and postoperative close follow-up is important.Öğe Global Publication Outcomes in Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery and Turkiye’s Effectiveness: A Bibliometric Analysis between 1980 and 2019(2020) Baykam, Mehmet Murat; Ekici, Musa; Demir, EmreObjective: Urinary system stone disease is a very common health problem that affects 2 to 3% of people and causes serious complications when it is not treated. The prevalence of renal stones has been increasing worldwide and surgical methods have changed over time. However, there is no comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) method in the literature. This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of all articles regarding RIRS published between 1980 and 2019. Materials and Methods: The literature search was performed using only the following keywords: “RIRS” and “flexible ureterorenoscopy/flexible ureteroscopy”, in the “title” part of the search. Using this search method, all the articles published between 1980 and 2019 on this topic were accessed and downloaded from the Web of Science database, and the articles were analyzed using bibliometric methods. Results: Totally, 1378 publications were found as a result of the literature search, of which 619 were articles. We noted that there has been a rapid increase in the number of publications, especially from the year 2011. Turkiye was found to be the most productive country with regard to RIRS. The journals that contributed most to the literature were: Journal of Endourology, Urology, Journal of Urology, Urolithiasis, and World Journal of Urology. Conclusion: One of the notable findings of this study is that Turkiye is among the world countries that produced the highest number of publications with regard to this topic and that the hospitals where this technique is used the most are located in Turkiye.Öğe Incidence of renal carcinoma in non-functioning kidney due to renal pelvic stone disease(Spandidos Publ Ltd, 2015) Zengin, Kursad; Tanik, Serhat; Sener, Nevzat Can; Albayrak, Sebahattin; Ekici, Musa; Bozkurt, Ibrahim Halil; Imamoglu, Muhammed AbdurrahimThe objective of this study was to report our pathological findings in nephrectomy specimens from patients treated for non-functioning hydronephrotic kidney due to renal pelvic stone disease. A total of 97 patients who underwent nephrectomy for non-functioning hydronephrotic kidneys between January, 2011 and June, 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. A non-functioning kidney was defined as one having paper-thin parenchyma on urinary ultrasound or computed tomography, exhibiting no contrast visualization in the collecting duct system on intravenous urography and having a split renal function of <10% on nuclear renal function studies. Following pathological evaluation, 9 patients were diagnosed with xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis, 9 with malignant tumors and 79 with chronic pyelonephritis. Of the patients with chronic pyelonephritis, 2 also had renal adenomas. The malignant tumors included 3 transitional cell carcinomas (TCC), 2 squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), 3 renal cell carcinomas (RCC) (1 sarcomatoid, 1 papillary and 1 clear cell RCC), whereas 1 patient had concurrent RCC and TCC. In conclusion, non-functioning kidneys, particularly those with kidney stones, should be managed as possible malignancies, due to the higher incidence of malignant tumors in such patients compared with the normal population.Öğe Koitus sırasında penisin süperfisial dorsal veninin rüptürü(Avrasya Üroonkoloji Derneği, 2017) Ekici, Musa; Şentürk, Aykut Buğra; Nalbant, İsmail; Ersoy, Hamit42 yaşında erkek hasta ilişki sonrası penil şişlik ve hematom nedeni ile acil servise başvurdu.Hasta opere edildi.

Materials and Methods: Eighty-eight patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were divided into those with Ta tumors (group 1: n=36) and those with T1 tumors (group 2: n=52). For each patient, white blood cell, neutrophil, and leukocyte counts and RDW values were evaluated. Results: NLR was significantly lower in patients with Ta tumors. In addition, NLR below 3.22 was associated with 80.6% probability of Ta disease. RDW sensitivity in Ta non-muscle-invasive bladder tumors was much higher compared to T1 tumors. RDW below 15.35 was associated with 94.4% probability of Ta disease. Conclusion: NLR and RDW are basic blood parameters that physicians can assess easily. Our results indicate that a combination of NLR and RDW can help clinicians predict lamina propria invasion in non-muscle-invasive bladder tumors.Öğe Primary Testicular B-cell Lymphoma(Galenos Yayincilik, 2015) Sentuk, Aykut Bugra; Ekici, Musa; Ersoy, HamitPrimary testicular lymphoma constitutes only 1-7% of all testicular neoplasms and less than 1% of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
