Publication Challenging risk factors for right and left laparoscopic adrenalectomy: A single centre experience with 272 cases(Brazilian Soc Urol, 2019-07-01) Kordan, Yakup; Günseren, Kadir Ömür; GÜNSEREN, KADİR ÖMÜR; Çiçek, Mehmet Cağatay; ÇİÇEK, MEHMET ÇAĞATAY; Vuruşkan, Hakan; VURUŞKAN, HAKAN; Yavaşçaoğlu, İsmet; YAVAŞCAOĞLU, İSMET; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-8673-3093; 0000-0002-0471-5404; 0000-0002-9947-848X; ABC-9924-2020Purpose: This study aimed to compare perioperative and postoperative results of right and left laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA), and to evaluate the impact of challenging factors on these outcomes.Materials and Methods: A total of 272 patient's medical records that underwent single side LA between October 2006 and September 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to operation side. Moreover, pheochromocytoma, metastatic masses and adrenal lesions >5cm in size were considered to be difficult adrenalectomy cases and the outcomes of these cases were compared between two groups.Results: 135 patients (49.6%) underwent right LA and 137 patients (50.4%) underwent left LA. Operation time, estimated blood loss (EBL) and hospitalization time were similar between the groups (p=0.415, p=0.242, p=0.741, respectively). Although EBL was higher on the right side than the left (p=0.038) in the first 20 cases, after this learning period has been completed, there was no significant difference between the groups. In patients with pheochromocytoma, metastatic mass and a mass >5cm in size, despite bleeding complications were clinically higher on the right side, this difference was not statistically significant.Conclusions: During the learning period of LA, EBL is higher on the right side. Due to the greater risk of bleeding complications on the right side even on the hands of experienced surgeons, extra care and preoperative planning are required in patients with pheochromocytoma, metastatic masses and masses >5cm in size.Publication How should be follow-up strategy in stage 1 testicular tumor, are there any novelties?(Galenos Yayincilik, 2011-09-01) Kordan, Yakup; Çiçek, Mehmet Cağatay; ÇİÇEK, MEHMET ÇAĞATAY; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-9947-848X; 0000-0002-0471-5404Testicular germ cell tumors are the most common cause of cancer in men between the age of 15 and 45 years and most patients have stage 1 disease at presentation. Although well defined clinical guidelines are present for the diagnosis and the treatment of testicular carcinoma there is not enough study published on the ideal follow-up of patients with stage 1 testicular carcinoma. An ideal follow-up protocol should not only provide early detection and treatment of recurrences but also ensure identification and reduction of side effects and secondary malignancies due to treatment. Besides, it should be economically feasible. In this article, the current literature and novelties regarding ideal follow-up for stage 1 testicular carcinoma were reviewed.Item The success of retrograde intrarenal surgery and the factors that affects the success on the treatment of lower calyx stones(Mary Ann Liebert, 2012-09) Kılıcarslan, Hakan; Kordan, Yakup; Vuruşkan, Hakan; Çiçek, Mehmet Cağatay; Gökçen, Kaan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Üroloji Anabilim Dalı.
