Abstract

Objective: To investigate the frequency of congenital and acquired urogenital anomalies such as hypospadias, undescended testis, varicocele and history of urogenital surgical operation in young males at the beginning of their military obligation. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional investigation conducted at a military command between March 4 and 28, 2002. A total of 3,625 privates who have just joined the military command were included. During general medical examination of the participants, two urologists performed urogenital examinations and noted their findings. Results: The mean age of the cases was found to be 20.6$\pm$1 .4 years. The incidences of urogenital abnormalities were noted as varicocele, 10.87%; history of any uro-genital surgical operation, 0.68%; undescended testis, 0.38%; and hypospadias, 0.08%. On the other hand, in 8 of the 14 cases (57.1%) with undescended testis the condition was right-sided and 20 of 25 cases (80%) who had undergone a urogenital operation the procedure was a scrotal intervention. Conclusion: The most frequent urogenital problem in this particular group of young adults was found as varicocele. Another interesting point was that some of the congenital problems have not been not treated until the age of 20.

Özet

Amaç: Askerlik görevine yeni başlayan genç erişkin erkeklerde hipospadyas, inmemiş teslis, varikosel, Ürogenital cerrahi operasyon gibi çeşitli konjenital ya da edinsel Ürogenital anomali ya da sorunların sıklığının saptanması. Yöntem: Bu çalışma 4 ile 28 Mart 2002 tarihleri arasında askeri bir birlikte yürütülen kesitsel tipte bir araştırmadır. Çalışmaya birliğe temel askerlik eğitimini almak üzere henüz katılmış olan 3,625 erbaş ve er dahil edilmiştir. Bu kişilerin birliğe katıldıkları sırada yapılan genel sağlık muayeneleri sırasında iki üroloji uzmanı tarafından Ürogenital muayene yapılmış ve sonuçlar kaydedilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan erbaş ve erlerin yaş ortalamasının 20.6±1.4 yıl olduğu bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların %10.87'inde varikosel, %0.68'inde geçirilmiş Ürogenital operasyon, %0.38'inde inmemiş testis, %0.08'inde ise hipospadyas saptanmıştır. Diğer taraftan inmemiş testis tanısı konan 14 kişinin 8'inde (%57.1) unilateral sağ inmemiş testis olduğu, Ürogenital operasyon geçiren 25 kişinin 20'sinin (%80) skrotumla ilgili operasyon geçirdiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Bu seçilmiş toplulukta en sık görülen Ürogenital sorun varikoseldir. Bulguların ilgi çekici bir yanı da bazı konjenital sorunların 20 yaşına kadar tedavi edilmemiş olmasıdır.
