Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of percutaneous nephrolithotomy and retrograde intrarenal surgery in treating 20-40 mm renal stones
Gokhan Atis,Meftun Culpan,Eyup Sabri Pelit,Cengiz Canakci,Ismail Ulus,Bilal Gunaydin,Asif Yildirim,Turhan Caskurlu +7 more
TL;DR: RIRS has some advantages over PCNL such as shorter hospitalization times, shorter fluoroscopy times and less post-operative pain in treating renal stones between 20 and 40 mm in diameter, however, PCNL has a higher SFR with only a single session.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: RIRS has some advantages over PCNL such as shorter hospitalization times, shorter fluoroscopy times, and shorter operative time in treating renal stones, however, PCNL achieves higher SFR after a single session.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in antimicrobial resistance and demographics of UTIs in pediatric patients in a single institution over a 6-year period.
Bulent Erol,Meftun Culpan,Hulya Caskurlu,U. Sari,Yasemin Cag,Haluk Vahaboglu,S H Özumut,M I Karaman,Turhan Caskurlu +8 more
TL;DR: UTI in females was nearly twice as common than in males, and ampicillin was a poor empiric choice for pediatric UTIs, while cephalosporins were appropriate alternatives given their low resistance rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Antimicrobial Resistance of Urinary Tract Infections in Adult Patients over a 5-Year Period.
TL;DR: Most of the uropathogens displayed high resistance to ampicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, and were susceptible to meropenem, ertapenem, and imipenem.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of shock wave lithotripsy and retrograde intrarenal surgery on health-related quality of life in 10-20 mm renal stones: a prospective randomized pilot study.
TL;DR: Patients in the SWL group showed more favorable HRQoL scores when compared to the patients in the RIRS group in short-term follow-up, and the effects of treatment modalities such as retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) and shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) on health-related quality of life (HRZoL) were determined.
