Aim: The aim of this study was to reveal the effect of manual detorsion on testicular salvage rates and the factors affecting the success of manual detorsion in adult testicular torsion. Material and Methods: The records of patients who applied to the emergency department with pre-diagnosis of acute scrotum were examined. A total of 62 adult patients diagnosed with testicular torsion were included in the study. Manual detorsion was attempted in all patients before surgery. Demographic characteristics of the patients, time from onset of scrotal pain to hospital admission (24 hours), physical examination and ultrasonography findings, type of surgery performed, and long-term results were evaluated. The data were statistically compared between patients with manual detorsion considered successful and unsuccessful. Results: Manual detorsion was considered successful in 36 (58.1%) patients and unsuccessful in 26 (41.9%) patients. Orchiopexy was performed in 35 (97.2%) of the successful patients and in 11 (42.3%) of the unsuccessful patients (p

Aggressive angiomyxoma is often a rare benign tumor, arising in the pelvic soft tissues and perineum. Aggressive angiomyxoma was described by Steper and Rosai first time in 1983. The main treatment method is wide-local excision. There is a high recurrence rate. In this case report, we aimed to present a case of scrotal agresif angiomyxoma in a 32-year-old man with literature.

Aim: To evaluate short term outcomes of patients undergone transurethral resection with plasmakinetic energy for benign prostate hyperplasia and to present safety and efficacy of the procedure. Material and Method:86 patients applied to our clinic between March 2011 and February 2012 were enrolled into the study. PSS scores, uroflowmetry, post voiding residual urine, prostate volumes of the patients were recorded. Post operative urethral stricture, bladder neck stricture, incontinance rates were noted. Data assessed after six months were compared to peroperative data. After the operations, the surgeons evaluated their comfort of surgery with visual analog scale from 0 to 10. Results: 24 of 86 patients were hospitalized for acute urinary retention. One patient was hospitalized because of hematuria. Peroperative IPSS was 22.2. at post operative sixth month, mean IPSS was 6.8. VAS scores of surgeons was; to assess visual comfort was 7.41, to assess coagulation was 7.62. Conclusion:After evaluating the data and literature, we believe bipolar plasmakinetik TUR is a safe and comforting method to treat bladder outlet obstruction with goog hemodynamic stability.
