Introduction. Mixed epithelial and stromal tumors (MEST) of the kidney are rare neoplasms and, along with adult cystic nephroma, are grouped together called mixed epithelial and stromal tumors (World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Kidney, 2022). Clinically and radiologically, they mimic other cystic renal neoplasms, thus definitive diagnosis requires histological and immunohistochemical examination. Despite the benign course, MEST can undergo malignancy; isolated cases of recurrence have also been documented.

Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a main approach to large and staghorn kidney stones, which has almost totally replaced open surgery and extracorporeal lithotripsy as monotherapy. New methods in complicated planned surgical interventions reduce the postoperative complications, hospital stay and accelerate the rehabilitation of patients. Fast-track conception followed this way. The aim of our study was to ground the practicability of this conception in patients after PCNL.

Aim: to estimate the potential of fibrin glue “Bioglue-LAB” (Russia) to improve the results of the surgical treatment of urethral strictures in male patients. Materials and methods: experimental part of investigation included 32 male rabbits of the Shinshilla genus: in 16 animals anastomosis was made using a fibrin glue and in 16 patients – without it.

Aim: to investigate the quality of life in male patients after different types of urethral reconstruction because of the urethral stricture disease.
