PURPOSE Of the various methods of hemodynamic studies performed to evaluate erectile dysfunction penile color Doppler ultrasound is currently considered the best. However, intracavernous injection is invasive and has adverse effects, such as prolonged erection. We evaluated whether sildenafil may be used as a substitute for intracavernous agents when assessing impotence on color Doppler ultrasound. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 42 patients with erectile dysfunction underwent color Doppler ultrasound before and after intracavernous injection of 60 mg. papaverine with genital and audiovisual sexual stimulation. Peak flow and end diastolic velocity were measured in the recorded waveforms obtained 0, 1, 5, 10 and 20 minutes after injection. The patients also underwent color Doppler ultrasound after a 50 mg. oral dose of sildenafil with genital and audiovisual sexual stimulation not before 3 days after the papaverine study. The same parameters were measured at 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 minutes, and compared with the values obtained after papaverine injection. RESULTS Mean peak flow velocity significantly increased after oral sildenafil starting at 30 minutes and achieving a maximum value at 60 minutes. There were no significant differences in the 2 methods in mean peak velocity 1, 5, 10 and 20 minutes after papaverine injection, and 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 minutes after oral sildenafil administration. Penile color Doppler ultrasound with intracavernous papaverine injection is accepted as the gold standard but color Doppler ultrasound with sildenafil has 90% sensitivity and 100% selectivity for demonstrating arterial insufficiency. Due to prolonged erection 5 patients (11.9%) in the papaverine group required pharmacological detumescence by intracavernous injection. No adverse effects of sildenafil were observed. CONCLUSIONS Sildenafil administration achieved increased peak flow velocity comparable to that after intracavernous papaverine injection. With no prolonged erection sildenafil emerges as a safer alternative compared to more invasive intracavernous injection.

PURPOSE We identified color Doppler sonography findings that are useful for predicting priapism in patients after the intracavernous injection of diagnostic papaverine. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 72 men with erectile dysfunction by color Doppler sonography after the diagnostic injection of papaverine. Cavernous artery waveforms were recorded, and peak systolic and diastolic velocity of the recorded waveforms was measured. In cases of priapism color Doppler sonography findings were retrospectively evaluated to identify any finding that would predict priapism. RESULTS Priapism was observed in 8 of the 72 patients (11.1%). In 6 of 8 priapism cases there was no blood flow in the cavernous artery during or after adequate erection, including after minutes 5, 10 and 20 in 3, 1 and 2, respectively. This absence of encoding was not relieved even after all stimuli were removed. In 2 patients who later presented with complaints of priapism the Doppler study was completed normally and all parameters were acquired without any cessation of blood flow in the cavernous artery. The persistent disappearance of color and pulse encoding in the cavernous artery predicted priapism with 75% sensitivity, 100% specificity, a positive and negative predictive value of 100% and 96.9%, respectively, and 97% accuracy. CONCLUSIONS The persistence of absent blood flow in the cavernous artery even after the elimination of all stimuli during penile color Doppler ultrasound is a reliable predictor of priapism. The finding is accurate enough to initiate treatment for priapism to avoid further delay.

Objective: We have conducted the following study to determine the prevalence of premature ejaculation in male hemodialysis patients and its impact on sexual quality of life. Methods: This study was performed in hemodialysis facilities. Patients were asked to complete the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire and also to report their ejaculation status. 98 male hemodialysis patients with normal potency were included in the study. The IIEF domain scores were determined, and the overall and relationship satisfaction rates were calculated for the patients with and without premature ejaculation separately. Results: The mean age was 45.9 (range 30–69) years and the duration of hemodialysis was 37.8 (range 7–84) months. Premature ejaculation was determined in 31 (31.6%) patients. Patients with premature ejaculation experienced significantly lower overall satisfaction scores. Items of satisfaction with overall sexual life and sexual relationship with partner were responded to with a score of ‘moderately satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ in 47 and 53% of patients with premature ejaculation and 84 and 86% of patients without premature ejaculation, respectively. Conclusions: Premature ejaculation is a prevalent disorder in hemodialysis patients and seems to affect the satisfaction rate and sexual quality of life of these patients.

Early Catheter Removal following Transurethral Prostatectomy:Overnight Catheterization

Güven Aslan; Ilhan Celebi; Deniz Arslan; A. Adil Esen

Objective: Our aim was to determine the safety and feasibility of catheter removal on the first morning after transurethral prostatectomy. Methods: Fifty-four patients who underwent transurethral prostatectomy were included in a prospective study. The decision to remove the catheters on the first morning after surgery was based on the color of the catheter effluent, absence of clots, normal vital signs and adequate urine output. Patients who voided successfully were discharged on the same day as catheter removal. Results: Catheters were removed in 43 (79.6%) patients on postoperative day 1. Of these patients 40 (93%) voided successfully, however 3 of them required recatheterization due to bleeding or urinary retention. The criteria for catheter removal were not met in 11 patients and their catheters were removed on postoperative day 2 in 2 and on postoperative day 3 in 9. The mean length of hospital stay after surgery was 1.74 days for the entire group and 1.41 days for those in whom the catheter was removed on postoperative day 1. Conclusion: Overnight catheterization after transurethral prostatectomy seems to be a feasible approach without leading to significant morbidity in selected patients.

Concealed Penis:Rare Complication of Circumcision

A. Adil Esen; Güven Aslan; Hatem Kazimoğlu; Deniz Arslan; Ilhan Celebi

A man presented with a concealed penis which developed after circumcision. In addition to anatomic variations in penile skin attachment and obesity, circumcision is an iatrogenic cause in the etiology of a concealed penis. Although it is a frequent and simple operation, it may lead to uncommon complications due to a lack of experience and poor technique.

In this case report we present a rare manifestation of a false-negative diuretic radionuclide renography in a patient with urinary ascites due to retroperitoneal fibrosis. Diuretic renography may lead to false-negative results and should be carefully evaluated in this group of patients.

Ruptured cornual ectopic pregnancy: case report

Ozer Birge; Mustafa Melih Erkan; Ertugrul Gazi Ozbey; Deniz Arslan; Ilkan Kayar

Ectopic pregnancy, defined as the placement of an embryonic sac somewhere other than the uterine wall, is the most common life-threatening emergency seen during early pregnancy. Interstitial ectopic pregnancy is defined as the placement of an ectopic pregnancy to the uterine part of the fallopian tubes and makes up about 2-4% of all ectopic pregnancies. Compared to other tubal pregnancies, they rupture later during pregnancy and gross hemorrhage is seen as a result of this rupture. Maternal mortality risk is 2 to 5 times more in interstitial ruptured pregnancy in comparison with other tubal pregnancies. Early diagnosis and treatment of interstitial ectopic pregnancy is therefore very crucial, as they carry a very high risk of morbidity associated with the rupture. In this case report, we present a case presenting with severe abdominal pain and amenorrhea for 3 months to our clinic. After examination, the patient was diagnosed with a cornual ectopic pregnancy which was late for a case like this. We would like to discuss this case with a literature review on this subject.
