    Predicting Lamina Propria Invasion in Patients with Nonmuscle-invasive Bladder Cancer: Do RDW and NLR Really Work?
    (2019) Senturk, Aykut Bugra; Ekici, Musa; Aydin, Cemil; Baykam, Mehmet Murat; Taş, Tuncay; Arda, Ersan; Çakıroğlu, Basri
    Objective: To determine the role of preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and red cell distribution width (RDW) in predicting laminapropria invasion in bladder cancer.Materials and Methods: Eighty-eight patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer were evaluated retrospectively. The patients were dividedinto 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 leukocytecounts 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 canhelp clinicians predict lamina propria invasion in non-muscle-invasive bladder tumors.

    Relationship between lower urinary tract symptoms and inguinal hernia
    (Pagepress Publ, 2016) Senturk, Aykut Bugra; Ekici, Musa; Sahiner, Ibrahim Tayfun; Taş, Tuncay; Çakıroğlu, Basri
    Aim: To determine the relationship between inguinal hernia (and inguinal hernia subtypes) and low urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), that could be more common than we think. Method: The study was designed retrospectively and was done in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, including 100 patients aged > 50 years that were divided into 2 groups: patients with BPH (BPH group) and patients with BPH and inguinal hernia (BPH-IH group 2). In addition, the BPH-IH group was subdivided according to 2 inguinal hernia subtypes; patients of BPH-IH subgroup A had direct inguinal hernia (n = 25) and those of BPH-IH subgroup B had indirect inguinal hernia (n = 25). Results: There was no statistical relationship and difference in rates between IPSS scores in both groups (p = 0.659) and there wasn't a significant correlation between IPSS symptom severity and type of hernia, based on chi square analysis (p = 0.104) Conclusion: We were not able to prove our hypothesis that patients with inguinal hernia and BPH would have higher IPSS scores because of voiding dysfunction.
