Purpose: Surgical equipment used in breast cancer surgery that affects wound healing and minimizes complications seems to be a popular investigation topic. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of plasmakinetic cautery on wound healing in patients receiving mastectomy. Methods: Forty-six consecutive breast cancer patients receiving modified radical mastectomy were evaluated prospectively. Plasmakinetic cautery was used in 24 operations and electrocautery was used in 22 operations in random order to manage skin flaps and excise breast tissue. In the postoperative period, vacuum drainage amount and duration time as well as the start time of arm exercises were recorded. Complications like seroma, surgical site infection, hematoma, and flap necrosis were determined. Results: Age, body mass index, breast volume and flap area parameters were similar in each group. Mean drainage duration was found to be 5.5 days in the plasmacautery group and 7.9 days in the electrocautery group (p=0.020). In the plasmacautery and electrocautery groups, mean drainage volume was 707 and 1,093 mL, respectively (p=0.025). There was no statistical significance between the groups when operation duration, amount of blood loss, time to start arm exercises, seroma, hematoma, surgical site infection, and flap necrosis were considered. Conclusion: Plasmakinetic cautery is a promising new surgical instrument that provides atraumatic, scalpel-like cutting precision and electrosurgical-like hemostasis, resulting in minimal tissue injury. So, plasmacautery shortens the drainage amount and duration time compared to electrocautery without elongating operation duration or increasing the amount of blood loss.

Purpose: To evaluate the possible effect of constipation on the acute urinary retention (AUR) after transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy (TRUS PB). Materials and Methods: A total of 1,167 patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >4 ng/mL and/or abnormal digital rectal examination underwent a standard 12 core transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy in our hospital and the findings were examined prospectively. Chronic constipation (CC) was defined according to the Rome IV criteria. All cases were well evaluated with respect to clinical-histopathological factors; International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), prostate volume, post-void residue, age, body mass index, histopathological inflammation, and AUR. Results: The mean age of patients was 64.63±8.31 years, the PSA level was 11.60±16.83 ng/mL, and the prostate volume was 54.66±25.44 mL. In 265 cases (22.7%), CC anamnesis was present and AUR developed in 28 (2.4%) of the cases. In the multivariate analysis for the risk of developing urinary retention, prostate volume, pre-operative IPSS, and presence of CC requiring manual maneuvers to facilitate defecation were found to be risk factors (p=0.023, 0.010, and 0.001, respectively). Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that CC may be a critical factor in the prediction of AUR formation following TRUS PB.
