[Antibacterial prophylaxis with fosfomycin at the time of the urethral catheter removal after radical prostatectomy (prospective randomized trial)].

Aim: To evaluate the effect of antibacterial prophylaxis using oral fosfomycin during the removal of a urethral catheter after radical prostatectomy on the development of urinary tract infection, severity of leukocyturia and bacteriuria, as well as the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms.

Materials And Methods: A single-center, non-blind, prospective, randomized controlled trial was carried out. The main group included 40 patients, and the control group included 37 patients.

Nontransecting Anastomotic Urethroplasty Via Ventral Approach Without Full Mobilization of the Corpus Spongiosum Dorsal Semicircumference.

Objective: To present a novel surgical approach to performing bulbar urethroplasty and to assess its initial outcomes and safety.

Materials And Methods: From January 2016 to March 2019, anastomotic urethroplasty without full mobilization and dissection of corpus spongiosum dorsal semicircumference was performed in 8 males with bulbar strictures by a single surgeon. Patients were given uroflowmetry, urethrography, and International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaires at their 3- and 12- month follow-up visits postoperatively.

[Indicators of volatile fatty acids for differential diagnostics of nfected and sterile of pancreatic necrosis.].

The aim of the study was to assess the information content of volatile fatty acid parameters for the differential diagnosis of infected and sterile pancreatic necrosis. The work is based on the results of examination and treatment of 34 patients with pancreatic necrosis. The analysis of concentrations of volatile fatty acids: acetic, propionic, butyric and isovaleric was carried out on an automated gas chromatograph «Crystallux-4000» with a capillary column «HP-FFAP» and flame ionization detector.

[The volatile fatty acids indicators in the differential diagnosis of purulent complications of pancreatic necrosis.].

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the informative value of volatile fatty acid (VFA) indicators for the differential diagnosis of infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN), complicated by retroperitoneal cellulose phlegmons and IPN, complicated by pancreatic abscesses. The work is based on the results of the examination and treatment of 52 patients with IPN, complicated by abscesses and phlegmon. The analysis of the concentrations of acetic, propionic, butyric and isovaleric acids were carried out on the gas chromatograph "Crystalllux-4000" with the capillary "HP-FFAP" column.

[HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF MALE INFERTILITY ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED SPERM DNA FRAGMENTATION AND REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES IN SEMEN].

The aim of this study was to explore the potential of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) for reduction of sperm DNA fragmentation level and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in semen. The study included 90 men with idiopathic infertility. Patients of the treatment group (n = 60) underwent HBO before the vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure.
