Sagnak L, Ersoy H, Ozok U, Eraslan A, Yararbas K, Goktug G, Tukun A.Author information Urology Clinics, Yildirim Beyazit Education and Research Hospital, Ministry of Health, Ankara, Turkey.AbstractINTRODUCTION: The aim of study is determining the cost-effectiveness of detection analysis in the presence of exceptional patients who have mild semen disorders, and beware of unnecessary varicocele repairs; and to ascertain whether patients with clinical varicocele should undergo Y chromosome (Yq) microdeletion analysis as a routine procedure.

Laparoscopic urologic surgery outcome assessment.

We have conducted an ongoing multicenter study of laparoscopic urologic surgery to identify any changes in utilization, complications, and short- and long-term outcomes. Laparoscopic urologic surgical procedures were assessed in three successive phases: retrospective initial experience [P1] (before 1991), and prospectively, an intermediate phase [P2] (1991-1992) and a late phase [P3] (1993-1994). The late phase group was followed for 1 year through 1995 to identify any delayed complications. In the P1 group, 114 patients are included; 105 underwent laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection (LPLND), 7 underwent laparoscopic variocele ligation (LVL), and 2 underwent other procedures. The complication rates in P1 are 21% (total): 10.5% (major) and 10.5% (minor). The P2 group includes 148 patients; 132 underwent LPLND, 10 underwent LVL, and 6 underwent other procedures. The complication rates decreased to 16.2% (total): 6% (major) and 10.1% (minor). The latest group (P3) includes 326 subjects; 245 had LPLND, 39 had LVL, and 42 had other procedures. More improvement in outcome is shown in this phase with a 7.98% total complication rate: 0.92% major and 7.05% minor. In addition, other parameters such as operative time and hospital stay show improvement through the successive phases. There were no significant long-term complications in the latest study group. This study demonstrates a continual improvement in outcome and changes in utilization patterns as urologists become more experienced with laparoscopic surgery. The complexity of the procedures performed has increased with a decrease in the complication rates overall.
