Nature of Lesions Undergoing Radical Nephrectomy for Renal Cancer
(Asian Pacific Organization Cancer Prevention, 2012) Mustafa, Gunes; Ilhan, Gecit; Necip, Pirincci; Kerem, Taken; Kadir, Ceylan
Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate retrospectively histopathologically-diagnosed lesions that were detected in the kidney after radical nephrectomy for a preoperative diagnosis of kidney cancer. Methods: The medical records of 83 patients (51 male, 32 female) were included. Preoperative staging was accomplished by various methods including physical examination, blood hemography and biochemistry, abdominal ultrasonography (US), chest x-ray, abdominal computed tomography (CT) and abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Results: Totals of 70 patients underwent radical nephrectomy and 13 nephron sparing surgery. Of the 83 patients, 70 had malignant lesions (renal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma or other malignancies) 13 had a variety of benign lesions, the most frequently detected being oncoytoma (6), angiomyolipoma (3), xanthogranulamatous pyelonephritis (2), cortical cyst (1) and chronic pyelonephritic change (1). Conclusion: It was concluded that in spite of great technological developments regarding radiological imaging modalities such as US, CT and MRI, benign lesions might still be detected pathologically in patients who undergo radical nephrectomy with the preoperative diagnosis of renal cancer. But, all renal masses should be regarded as malignant and should be managed surgically otherwise proven benign.
Our 8 Years Experience on Penile Fractures: the Diagnosis and Treatment
(derman Medical Publ, 2012) Mustafa, Gunes; Necip, Pirincci; Ilhan, Gecit; Kerem, Taken; Kursat, Cecen; Kadir, Ceylan
Aim: The purpose of this study to present our experience with diagnosis and treatment management of penile fracture. Material and Method: Patients who were admitted our clinic with complaints of sudden penile swelling and pain during 8 years were screened. Clinical information of 30 patients aged between 16 and 45 retrospectively analyzed. The patients had applied to emergency room during the first 10 hours following penile swelling and pain. Results: Penile fracture was detected in 28 patients and dorsal penile vein rupture mimicking penile fracture was detected in 2 patients. The most common etiologies of penile fracture were coitus and manually bending the penis for detumescence. Diagnoses were made based on history and physical examination. The treatment was surgical in 28 cases with subcoronal circumferential degloving incision and 2 patients were treated with vein ligation due to dorsal vein rupture. Erectile dysfunction or penile curvature were not detected (except the last five cases) during a mean follow up of 18.7 months (range 8-28). Discussion: Although conservative treatment options were adviced, many authors prefer surgery because of the rapid recovery, short hospitalization duration, less morbidity and less penil curvature during the long term period.
