UROLITHIASIS

Introduction. The lithogenesis causes study is extremely important for the surgical treatment tactics determining and for urolithiasis metaphylaxis.

Materials and methods. It was used data published in the PubMed databases, the scientific electronic library eLibrary.ru, and on the website of the European Association of Urology.

Introduction. Large prostatic calculi, which in total occupy almost the entire volume of the prostate gland, are extremely rare. A small number of clinical cases and a variety of treatment methods used in such cases determine the relevance of the study of this problem.

Introduction. Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological diseases with a trend towards stable growth in different countries. Thanks to the active development of minimally invasive surgery, lithotripsy has become possible in any part of the pelvicalyceal system, practically replacing open surgery for urolithiasis.

Aim: to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of various methods of surgical treatment of urolithiasis.

Introduction. Percutaneous and endourological surgeries are the most common interventions for nephrolytiasis in urologists’ practice. During the operation, it is important to maintain the right balance between sufficient flow of irrigation fluid for adequate visualization and safe intrarenal pressure. Intraoperative increase in intrarenal pressure is associated with the development of purulent-inflammatory complications in the postoperative period.

Introduction. Some studies have shown that urolithiasis is much more common in the group of patients who underwent radical cystectomy (RC) with intestinal plastic bladder than the average for the population.

Introduction. The article discusses the results of studies and meta-analyses that have studied the risks of coronary heart disease (CHD), myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in patients with urinary stone disease (USD).

The purpose of this review is to critically analyze the available studies on the association of USD with CHD and stroke, as well as to evaluate USD among other cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and to assess the role of USD metaphylaxis in reducing this risk.

Introduction. Encrusted pyelitis is a rare clinical form of urolithiasis. It represents a formation of stones on the mucosa of collecting system because of violation of epithelial function. Encrusted pyelitis characterized by formation of multiple planar stones intimately soldered to the epithelial lining. Generally, accepted methods of surgical removal of stones is not effective in such case and different approach is required.

Introduction. Low adherence treatment is one of the reasons for the failure of the treatment of chronic diseases, including urolithiasis. The main efforts to increase patients' adherence to treatment should be aimed at acquiring knowledge about possible complications and prognosis of the course of the disease, as well as about the main methods of diagnosis and treatment. However, there is currently no tool to comprehensively assess the initial level of knowledge in these matters and thereby determine the level of adherence to the treatment of urolithiasis.

Introduction. In recent years, there has been a persistent trend towards an increase in the incidence of urolithiasis. The treatment of large and complex kidney stones greatest difficulty is one of the challenges. Such stones, as well as surgical methods of their removal, can have an adverse effect on the functional state of the kidneys, which confers a significant medical, social and economic problem.

Introduction. Urolithiasis is one of the most common urological diseases. Up to 50% of patients who have suffered from the first episode of nephrolithiasis will have the second episode within 10 years, so the question of metaphylaxis of this disease is relevant, taking into account the genetic predisposition of a particular patient.
