RESUMO
Introduction: Peyronie's disease (PD) is a common urologic illness, motivating numerous scientific investigations and publications. Scientific publications have more authors each year. A bibliometric review of the PD literature might help urologists and sexual medicine professionals comprehend publication tendencies in this subject. The current study was aimed at presenting a bibliometric analysis of PD, which is one of the important and trending subjects of andrology. Methods: On January 5, 2023, Web of Science scanned documents with the terms Peyronie's disease" "Peyronie's disease treatment", "Peyronie's disease management", "Peyronie's disease surgery" and "Peyronie's disease injection" from 1975 through 2023. Titles, years, authors, citations, citation indices, journal names, authors' countries of origin, article categories, and funding sources were recorded. Results: "Clinical Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum for the Treatment of Peyronie Disease in 2 Large Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled Phase 3 Studies" has the most citations and citation index. Most of the T100 articles were published in 2020, primarily in the Journal of Urology. These articles mainly focused on treatment, especially surgeries. All of these articles were in English, and the vast majority of them were by authors from the US who were most frequently collaborated with by other authors. Conclusion: This research analyzed the top 100 PD studies. This research focused on pathophysiology, innovative surgical procedures, and new approaches of PD. It also recommended bigger databases and more financing for research.
RESUMO
Purpose: Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) has been accepted as a first-line therapeutic option for kidney stones <2 cm. Renal mobility might be a challenging situation for the surgeon targeting the laser, thereby limiting the renal mobility during surgery might affect the surgical success. The main objective of the present trial was to evaluate the effect of two different ventilation modes on the efficacy and safety of RIRS performed under general anesthesia. Materials and Methods: The patients undergoing RIRS from January 2023 to April 2023 were prospectively enrolled in the trial. In the standard ventilation (SV) mode, the tidal volume was 8 to 10 mL/kg with respirations per minute being 10-15, whereas in the high ventilation (HV) mode the tidal volume was reduced to 6 to 8 mL/kg with the frequency being increased to 15 to 18 respirations/minute. For the purposes of the trial and the randomization, the anesthesiologist was informed about the ventilation mode used, whereas the surgeon was blinded. The surgical success rates and the observed complications were compared between SV and HV modes. Results: A total of 144 patients were enrolled with the mean age 48.78 ± 14.16 years. The mean duration of operation was 62.9 ± 26.3 minutes in the SV group, whereas it was 58.4 ± 20.1 minutes in the HV group (p = 0.031). Fragmentation rate of the stones per minute was higher in the HV group with the difference being statistically significant (p = 0.003). In the preoperative period, while hematuria was seen at higher rates in the HV group, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.671). Stone-free rates (Grades A-B-C) and the rates of postoperative complications were comparable between the groups (p = 0.605 and p = 0.676, respectively). Conclusion: Using HV mode during the RIRS decreased the operative time and provided the surgeon with the ability to target the laser more effectively. Surgeons might prefer using the HV mode during RIRS in a mobile kidney to reduce their operative time and perform comfortable surgery. ClinicalTrials.gov: The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with the registration number of NCT05792670.
