Two different surgical techniques "inside-out" and "outside-in" have been described for transobturator tape procedure, one of the most preferred methods for the surgical treatment of stress urinary incontinence in the last ten years. This study aimed to compare the success, complication, and patient satisfaction rates related to both techniques in patients who underwent transobturator tape procedure due to stress urinary incontinence in a 21-month period. ⋯ Transobturator tape operation is a procedure that provides high success rates in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence regardless of the used technique. Operation success rates, patient satisfaction rates, and postoperative quality of life scores were found to be almost similar in both surgical techniques.

Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic systemic inflammatory vasculitis of unknown etiology characterized by recurrent episodes of oral aphthous ulcers, genital ulcers, skin lesions, ocular lesions, and other manifestations. This disease affects many organs and systems and shows a wide range of clinical manifestations. ⋯ However, syndromes such as psychosis appear to be less frequent. Therefore, we present a case of BD complicated by schizophrenia-like symptoms.

An ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has emerged as an effective way to control postoperative pain and may be a good alternative way to an epidural block. However, relevant research on the appropriate concentration of local anesthetics for an ESPB remains scarce. ⋯ The optimal concentration of ropivacaine recommended for an ESPB was 0.375%, which was effective in controlling pain and reducing the intraoperative opioid requirements with minimal adverse reactions such as hypotension.

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (EDCR) compared with transcanalicular laser DCR (TL-DCR). ⋯ EDCR and TL-DCR without silicone stent have offered a high success rate in the long term. Furthermore, endonasal procedures have less surgery time and leave no scar. We observed that EDCR and TL-DCR are favorable methods in cases of nasolacrimal duct obstruction.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of Kinesio Taping on acute pain, breastfeeding behavior and comfort level in women with cesarean section: A randomized controlled trial.
Kinesio taping is used to provide rehabilitation after surgical operations. ⋯ In the study, it has been shown that KT has important effects on pain management, breastfeeding success, and increasing comfort level in women with cesarean section compared to the control group and the initial period, and can be used safely.
