Introduction. The variety of etiopathogenesis of urolithiasis and the presence of various concomitant pathologies in patients with urinary tract stones requires an individual approach to their treatment.

Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of the treatment results was performed in 208 patients, 124 (59,6%) men and 84 (40,4%) women, aged 19 to 84 years (average age – 53,5±14,6 years), who were operated for nephrolithiasis. Demographic data, comorbid background of patients, therapeutic tactics and treatment results are analyzed.

Introduction. Asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) is a form of urinary tract infection (UTI) that occurs without any symptoms. Its incidence fluctuates around 6%. The generally accepted paradigm suggests the need to treat AB, but this statement is mainly based on research data from the 1950-70 years.

Introduction. Penetrating kidney injuries account for 19,5% of renal trauma. In peacetime stab wounds prevail in the structure of penetrating kidney injuries. The search for optimal treatment methods for penetrating kidney injuries remains one of the pressing issues of modern emergency urology.

Objective of the study. To assess the outcomes of management for stab wounds of the kidney using different methods of treatment.

Introduction. Mirabegron is a β3-adrenergic receptor agonist (β3-AR) that is registered and widely used for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB). Initially, the drug was studied for the treatment of metabolic syndrome, but then showed the ability to influence the symptoms of urgent frequent urination. As a result, it was registered for the indication «OAB». However, the effect of mirabegron on fat metabolism and other metabolic effects should also be taken into account.

Introduction. Stenosis of cystourethroanastomosis is not common but a serious and social significant complication after radical prostatectomy. The present methods of treatment don’t lead to persistent cure. Currently there is a paucity of effective methods for the treatment of this complication and we necessitate to find out a new option to restore urination and preserve continence at the same time.

Introduction. Radical prostatectomy (RP) remains the main, iatrogenic cause of erectile dysfunction (ED) and, despite the development and implementation of modern methods such as laparoscopy and robotic surgery, the relevance of ED after RP remains at a high level.

Objective. To evaluate the effectiveness of a new penile reinnervation method using a n. suralis graft with distal fraying and end-to-side neuroraphy between the motor fasciculus of the femoral nerve and the cavernous body in patients undergoing RP.

Introduction. Chronic prostatitis is a widespread disease in men of different age groups. Chronic prostatitis remains one of the most difficult problems in modern urological practice, which also has enormous social significance for a number of reasons: a negative impact on the quality of life of patients, a frequent association with male infertility, high treatment costs and low effectiveness.

Introduction. Comorbidities increase the risk of postoperative complications in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical profile of patients with BPH requiring surgery.

Introduction. Some patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) do not respond to treatment or the disease progresses during conservative treatment. It seems relevant to identify significant predictors of BPH progression and transition from conservative to surgical treatment.

Introduction. Currently, there is a point of view that lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and age-related testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism) in men should be considered as pathogenetically interrelated, age-associated chronic diseases characterized by a progressive course. These conditions can significantly reduce the quality and duration of life in men in the absence of adequate drug correction.
