The use of intelligent analysis (IA) in determining the tactics of treating patients with nephrolithiasis.

Introduction: The use of modern information technologies allows to increase confidence in the choice of a surgical treatment method of kidney stones, as well as to improve the quality of treatment due to an adequate combination of therapeutic techniques.

Materials And Methods: In our study we analyzed the treatment results of 625 patients with kidney stones. We created a register with the information on more than 50 parameters for each patient.

Nephrometric score based on 3D modeling (3D nephrometry score) for the probability prediction of intra- and postoperative complications for kidney surgery.

Aim: The purpose of the study is the development and evaluation of the informativeness of the author's 3D nephrometric score application to predict the probability of intraoperative and postoperative complications in kidney operations.

Material And Methods: The study includes 264 patients who underwent surgical treatment of renal tumors, before that CT and 3D modeling were carried out. All patients underwent an analysis of the surgical intervention complexity on the C-index, PADUA, R.

Superselective prostatic artery embolization in the treatment of large benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Purpose: To evaluate the use of prostatic artery embolization (PAE) as a treatment option for patients with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with prostate volumes of 80 cc and more.

Materials And Methods: The study included 75 patients with high anesthesia-related risks for conventional surgery (TURP). All patients were surveyed for symptom burden, using IPSS and quality of life score.

Genetic factors of polygenic urolithiasis.

The article summarizes the findings of Russian and international studies of the genetic aspects of polygenic urolithiasis associated with impairment of calcium metabolism. The article analyzes the genetic risk factors of polygenic nephrolithiasis that show significant association with the disease in case-control studies and Genome-Wide Association Studies (16 genes). We described the gene functions involved in concrement formation in polygenic nephrolithiasis.

Repair of cystocele and apical genital prolapse using 6-strap mesh implant.

Objective: To assess the outcomes of surgical repair of anterior apical prolapse using the 6-strap mesh implant.

Study Design: The prospective study included 100 patients with genitourinary prolapse. We used advanced 6-strap mesh implant.

The clinical role of X-ray computed tomography to predict the clinical efficiency of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical efficiency of computed tomography for diagnostics of patients with urolithiasis and the choice of treatment strategy.

Material And Methods: The study was carried out at the Urological Clinic of I.M.

Multiple application of three-dimensional soft kidney models with localized kidney cancer: A pilot study.

Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of three-dimensional printing application in urology for localized renal cancer treatment using three-dimensional printed soft models.

Materials And Methods: The study included five patients with kidney tumors. The patients were treated in the Urology Clinic of I.

Comparative results of cryoablation and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in the treatment of localized prostate cancer.

Aim: To evaluate early prostate cancer cryoablation functional and oncological results in comparison with results of extraperitoneoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed early results of surgical treatment of 285 patients with prostate cancer: 42 of them had undergone total cryoablation (Group 1) while the rest of them had been treated by radical laparo- and extraperitoneoscopic prostatectomy. For comparative assessment of prostate cryoablation results, 42 patients from Group 2 randomized in accordance with their age, stage of disease, Gleason, prostate-specific antigen, and prostate volume were selected.

15 years' survey of safety and efficacy of Serenoa repens extract in benign prostatic hyperplasia patients with risk of progression.

Aim:: The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of long-term therapy with Serenoa repens extract with regard to halting benign prostatic hyperplasia progression.

Material And Methods:: An open non-comparative observational study of the continuous use of S. repens plant extract at a dosage of 320 mg once a day for 15 years was performed in 30 patients at risk for benign prostatic hyperplasia progression.
