ENDOUROLOGY

Introduction. The management of complex stone disease remains a major challenge in contemporary urology. In recent years, growing interest has been directed toward endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS), which integrates retrograde and antegrade approaches. At the same time, successful ECIRS requires careful preoperative planning and thorough operating room setup, including optimal positioning of the fluoroscopic C-arm, two endoscopic systems, two laser lithotripters, and two instrument sets to ensure effective coordination between the operating surgeons.

Introduction. Kidney stones (KS) is a common disease and occupies a significant place in urological practice. The incidence of KS is actively growing in industrialized countries. Modern technologies make it possible to carry out mini-cut interventions, reducing the risks of complications of standard techniques. However, an increase in the duration of procedures can lead to perfusion-pressor complications and overheating of the irrigated fluid.

Introduction. In the context of the global demographic trend of an aging population, effective methods for treating nephrolithiasis become particularly relevant. Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) remains one of the leading surgical interventions. With the emergence of new technologies in nephrolithiasis surgery, opportunities arise for the effective combination of various endourological methods, enhancing the efficiency and safety of operations.

Introduction. The structure of the calyx-pelvic system may affect the results of treatment in patients with single and multiple renal calculi. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical significance of the anatomy of the renal cavity system during micropercutaneous nephrolithotripsy.

Introduction. Bladder obstruction caused by benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is common disease among males with diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Objective. To evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and clinical outcomes among patients with/without DM2T after undergoing transurethral resection prostate (TURP).

Introduction. Retrograde flexible ureteroscopy is the most safe and effective method of treatment of patients with kidney stones and urothelial tumors. Since 2017, disposable flexible ureteroscopes (URS) have been introduced into clinical practice. Single use scopes are equal in visualization and usability to reusable ones, and there is no need for complex maintenance. However, the cost of disposable endoscopes remains relatively high for clinics in developing countries, prompting many specialists to sterilize the disposable device and then reuse it again.

Introduction. The inclusion of antibiotic therapy into clinical practice in the second half of the 20th century radically changed the «etiological landscape» of urethral stricture disease. Against the background of a decrease in the proportion of inflammatory strictures, the introduction of new technologies, the spread of transurethral interventions in urology has led to an increase in the incidence of iatrogenic strictures.

Urolithiasis is one of the most common diseases seen by urologists. In 28% of patients with kidney stones, the disease is symptomatic. The benefits of ureteral stone extraction include minimal invasiveness, a shorter postoperative recovery time, and a favourable safety profile.

Aim: to compare and evaluate the relationship between the density of the ureter, the density of the calculus, its localization and the value of the creatinine level and predicting the success of ureterolithoextraction.

Introduction. Urolithiasis is a common disease and up to 15% of patients have multiple kidney stones. Retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) can be used in the surgical treatment of kidney stones because this method is highly effective. Patients with multiple kidney stones often necessitate several surgeries. In this study we our own experience of bilateral RIRS to analyze its effectiveness and safety.

Introduction. According to epidemiological studies, the incidence of urolithiasis in the world is about 20%, and the number of patients with this pathology is steadily increasing. Renal cell carcinoma shows the similar dynamics of case growth. The development of diagnostic methods has increased the detectability of combinations of these pathologies, and therefore the urgency of the issue of simultaneous interventions in such patients raises no doubts.
