[A comprehensive approach to the treatment of urethral strictures caused by lichen sclerosus].

Aim: to evaluate the correctness of the diagnosis of lichen sclerosus with an evaluation of complications in the form of urethral strictures and to ensure long-term monitoring of patient management in order to avoid recurrence of fibrous complications and ascending infection in case of lower urinary tract obstruction.

Material And Methods: a total of 55 men aged from 17 to 85 years with lichen sclerosus complicated by urethral stricture who were treated from 2005 to 2020 were included in the study. All patients underwent a comprehensive urological examination.

[Evaluation of upper urinary tract function in patients undergoing autoplastic surgery for hydronphrosis of the intrarenal pelvis].

Aim: To investigate the functional state of the upper urinary tract in patients undergoing autoplastic surgery for a hydronophrosis of the intrarenal pelvis.

Material And Methods: The study comprised 78 patients with the intrarenal pelvis and impaired urinary outflow due to stricture of the ureteropelvic junction and vascular conflict (interatrial and arteriovenous narrowing), who underwent pyeloplasty using autologous tunica vaginalis. All patients underwent an incision of ureteropelvic stricture and resection of the parietal layer of the tunica vaginalis which was used to repair the obstruction site and internal stenting of the upper urinary tract.

[Experimental work: reconstruction of the pelvi-ureteric junction and ureter using testicular tunica vaginalis autograft].

Aim: To evaluate the results of surgical reconstruction of the upper urinary tract using an autograft of testicular tunica vaginalis in experimental animals.

Materials And Methods: The article presents the results of partial replacement of the renal pelvis and ureter with an autograft in 25 male dogs. The grafts were harvested by resection of the parietal layer of the testicular tunica vaginalis, which was transplanted into the region of the pelvi-ureteric junction and the proximal ureter.

[Retroperitoneoscopic surgeries for pyoinflammatory diseases of the kidney with varying severity of endotoxemia].

The medical histories of 98 patients with pyoinflammatory diseases of the kidney, who underwent surgery by retroperitoneoscopic access, and 75 patients, who underwent traditional open surgery were analyzed. The degrees of multiple organ dysfunction and endotoxemia were determined in all patients. The groups were comparable in terms of clinical manifestations and severity of intoxication.
