EXPERIMENTAL UROLOGY

Introduction. Phytotherapy continues to play an important role in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Aim. To evaluate the pharmacological activity of a complex of biologically active compounds isolated from the foliage of Picea abies L. and Pinus sylvestris L. (coniferous provitamin concentrate, CPC) in comparison with S. repens extract (Prostamol^®Uno, Germany) using the testosterone-induced BPH model in rats.

Introduction. The use of psychotherapeutic strategies may be preferable for patients with interstitial cystitis, who do not respond to psychopharmacotherapy and even after somatotropic therapy. therapy, surgical interventions continue to experience uncomfortable sensations. However, many urologists, given the presence of the psychosocial etiology of cystitis in some patients, continue to advocate surgical treatment.

Introduction. In conditions of long-term infravesical obstruction caused by prostate hyperplasia (РН), 15-30% of patients eventually experience decompensation of detrusor function. At the same time, the details of the adaptive transformation of the vascular bed of the bladder, as well as its correlation with the structural remodeling of this organ, which determine the decompensation of the lower urinary tract in conditions of chronic urinary retention, are still unclear.

Introduction. 3D printing technology is being actively introduced into the urological practice. Apart from improving of patients counselling, this technology allows for improved planning end performance of surgery.

Aim of study. To determine the current state of three-dimensional printing in the urological practice.

Introduction. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common urological disorder in older men. It is characterized by the development of glandularstromal hyperplasia of the prostate with the formation of new glandular structures and subsequent symptoms from the lower urinary tract. It has now been established that the pathogenesis of this disease is multifactorial and one of the possible mechanisms for the development of BPH is oxidative stress.

Introduction. The development of oxidative stress and nonspecific inflammation is one of the leading factors in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and associated urination disorders in metabolic syndrome (MS). However, the specific mechanisms of these processes are not entirely clear.

Introduction. Urolithiasis refers to one of the most common diseases of the genitourinary system, which the urologist meets in his daily practice. When a stone is located in the ureter, surgical intervention is often required to restore the passage of urine and prevent the development of obstructive pyelonephritis. Currently, the holmium or thule laser ureterolithotripsy is condidered the «gold standard» of surgical treatment of ureteral calculi.

Introduction. Urethral stricture is a complex and urgent problem in operative urology. The main problem in the treatment of extended structures of the posterior urethra is the inability to form an adequate urethral site for augmentation urethroplasty with the common buccal graft, which has a priority in the treatment of penile strictures. The use of tissue acellular matrices may be promising in the development of reconstructive urology, which in the future will solve a number of problems associated with augmentation urethroplasty.

Introduction. Minimally invasive treatment of prostate cancer includes the method of electrochemical lysis, which causes damage to cells as a result of redox reactions caused by exposure to a low-energy direct current. The study objective is to evaluate the histopathological outcomes in cancer tissue and prostate tissue after electrochemical lysis.

Introduction. Impact of perineal muscles strengthening exercises on penile hemodynamics in patients with erectile disfunction (ED) was studied.
