Introduction. Assessment of separate renal function is an important diagnostic characteristic when planning kidney transplant operations or significant surgical interventions. Modern methods make it possible to obtain such data with the help of additional studies, in particular with nephroscintigraphy, which carries with it an additional financial burden and an increase in preoperative preparation time. The developed methods for assessing the separate function of the kidneys due to their automatic segmentation during CT require specialized workstations.

Background. Male infertility is an acute issue in modern andrology, being registered in 45% of infertile couples. Aer the exclusion of exogenous factors and systemic diseases leading to male infertility (MI), a significant part of MIcases among the remaining patients in the cohort with idiopathic infertility is associated with genetic pathologies.

Aim. To generalize data on genetic disorders that lead to a decrease in male fertility and to review methods of their diagnostics.

Introduction. Bladdercancer (BC) represents one of the most frequent disease in the structure of morbidity and mortality among malignant neoplasms in human. At the moment, there is a large amount of experimental data about the molecular genetic alterations those occurring in carcinogenesis of BC, but only a few of them are considered as potential predictors of the response to therapy, suitable for using in clinical practice. Many studies underlying BC is a genetically heterogeneous disease.

Purpose of the study: To improve the results of treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer using the 125I brachytherapy by means of individual prediction of relapse-free survival of patients after implantation.

Materials and methods. The study included 123 patients with low and intermediate risk clinically localized prostate cancer who were implanted with 125I radioactive micro sources in the period from 2000 to 2013. The main evaluation criterion was 5-year biochemical disease free survival bDFS.

Aim: Optimization of algorithm of diagnostic of urogenital and intestine-vaginal fistulas

Introduction. Today, the problem of screening for prostate cancer is not completely solved. Scientific experiments have not allowed to formulate a general concept due to the fact that the screening procedure is accompanied with such factors as hyperdiagnostics, hypertreatment and high economic losses.

Due to implementation of minimally invasive techologies (laparoscopic surgery, Da vinci roobot) over the last 10 years, there are several publications for the nuances and effectiveness of extraperitoneoscopic adenomectomy (EA) in patients with large volume (>80 cm3) benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). e analysis of scientific literature showed that EA becomes more entrenched among urologists, however, resulting from lack of data for long-term treatment outcomes and a retrospective format of studies, this surgery is still being investigated (level of evidence 2).

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the actual oncourological problems, which mirrors the growth of incidence of this disease. Horseshoe kidney is a rare disease with 2.8% incidence in population among all anatomical inborn defects. RCC of the horseshoe kidney is a rare event and occurs only in 2% of patients with horseshoe kidney.
