[The experience of using drug Afalaza for treatment of lower urinary symptoms in treatment-nave patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia].

Introduction: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is one of the most common diseases in men over 50 years. The prevalence of the BPH increases with age, and pathologic features of BPH are found in about 90% of men over 80 years.

Aim: The aim of the study was to study the efficacy and safety of Afalaza for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in treatment-nave patients with BPH.

[Treatment of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms in Moscow].

Introduction: In recent years, there has been a persistent tendency to a decrease in surgical treatment of patients with lower urinary symptoms (LUTS). This fact can be explained by variety drugs which have acceptable safety and high efficiency for treatment of urinary disorders. As part of our survey of men in Moscow region, the trends in prescribing the different drugs for the LUTS was studied.

[LUTS/BPH who treats?. The results of the epidemiologic study].

Introduction: In this study an attempt was made to determine some reasons that prompted the urologist to make a choice in favor of particular drug or combination from a wide variety of available drugs. The prescribing habits and subjective evaluation of efficiency and safety of the drugs for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms/benign prostatic hyperplasia by the urologists in Russia was analyzed.

Materials And Methods: a prospective multicenter epidemiological study "LUTS/BPH - who treats?" was carried out in 12 centers using data obtained from May 1 to July 31, 2018 with anonymous survey of 500 urologists living in 9 cities of the Russian Federation.

[One-stage cryoablation of two renal tumors].

The progressive development of medical technologies allowed the introduction of alternative methods of treatment of localized renal cell carcinoma with a tendency to organ-sparing approach. Cryoablation, radiofrequency ablation, and some experimental methods of treatment (microwave and laser ablation, therapy with high-intensity focused ultrasound) are referred to minimally invasive treatment of renal cell carcinoma. Cryoablation is highly effective alternative method of treatment of renal cell carcinoma.

Extended robotic salvage lymphadenectomy in patients with 'node-only' prostate cancer recurrence: initial experience.

Introduction: Biochemical relapse (BR) after a primary radical prostatectomy may occur in up to 40 percent of cases. Salvage lymphadenectomy has been proposed in patients with 'node-only' driven BR, following a definitive treatment of primary prostate cancer (PCa). We present our initial series of 10 consecutive patients who underwent an extended robotic salvage pelvic lymph node dissection (eRSPLND) for 'node-only' recurrent PCa.

[Specific features of lower urinary tract symptoms in men living in the moscow region. Results of the epidemiological study].

Introduction: Voiding disorders in men are manifested by various symptoms associated with impairment of the urinary flow along the urinary tract and worsening of the urinary bladder storage function. There is a considerable lack of data on the prevalence of LUTS, their severity, and correlation with data from objective studies in men in the Russian Federation in general and in the Moscow region in particular.

Materials And Methods: A prospective multicenter epidemiological study "Specific Features of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms in Men Living in the Moscow Region" was conducted based on data acquired from April 1 to May 31, 2017 by an anonymous survey of 525 men (mean age 64.

[Analysis of factors affecting the compliance with medical therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia].

Aim: To investigate factors affecting the compliance of patients with the combination therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Materials And Methods: Four hundred BPH outpatients treated with combination therapy were surveyed.

Results: The absolute majority of patients (76.

[Simulation-based robot-assisted surgical training].

Since the first use of robotic surgical system in 2000, the robot-assisted technology has gained wide popularity throughout the world. Robot-assisted surgical training is a complex issue that requires significant efforts from students and teacher. During the last two decades, simulation-based training had received active development due to wide-spread occurrence and popularization of laparoscopic and robot-assisted surgical techniques.

[EVALUATION OF DIAGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF PELVIC MRI IN PROSTATE CANCER PATIENTS].

Accurate staging of prostate cancer is a prerequisite to forecast disease progression and-to guide surgery planning. In current clinical practice, contrast-enhanced MRI is one of the imaging tools for improving the evaluation of prostate cancer patients. To assess the diagnostic value of MRI a retrospective study in a real clinical practice setting was conducted.

[Individual learning curve for radical robot-assisted prostatectomy based on the example of three professionals working in one clinic].

The appearance of new surgical technique always requires evaluation of its effectiveness and ease of acquisition. A comparative study of the results of the first three series of successive robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) performed on at time by three surgeons, was conducted. The series consisted of 40 procedures, and were divided into 4 groups of 10 operations for the analysis.

[Benign mimics of prostatic adenocarcinoma].

Prostate cancer occupies 2nd place on the prevalence and 6th place on mortality among all cancers in men. That is not to deny the social importance of prostate cancer, but attention is drawn to significant advantage of newly detected cases above the cancer-specific mortality. "Gold standard" for diagnosis includes morphological study of tissue fragments after transrectal multifocal prostate biopsy.

[The evaluation of efficacy and safety of treatment with dalfaz SR in patients with prostatic adenoma].

An open non-comparative multicenter study-observation according the program involving 190 patients (mean age--62.3 +/- 9.7 years) with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and severe urination disorders was performed.

[Awareness of the patients about detection of prostatic cancer].

We introduced an original simple anonymous questionnaire for urological patients in Moscow and Omsk outpatient clinics and hospitals. A total of 580 patients aged between 40 and 70 years (mean age 61.48 years) responded from February to June 2008.

[Administration of two uroselective alpha-adrenoblockers in pharmacological treatment of acute urinary retention in patients with prostatic adenoma].

Acute urinary retention in males is often caused by infravesical obstruction due to enlargement of the prostatic gland. Recently it was found that alpha-adrenoblockers promote recovery of physiological voiding in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia. In our study urinary bladder draining with urethral catheter in 136 patients with acute urinary retention was immediately followed by simultaneous administration of two alpha1-adrenoblockers--alfuzosine (10 mg once a day) (dalfaz CP) and tamsulosine (0.

[Prophylaxis of urine incontinence in prostatic cancer patients after radical prostatectomy].

We made a multivariate analysis of efficacy of different techniques of radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) for prevention of postoperative urine incontinence. A total of 226 patients operated (RRP) in the urological clinic of the Medical University from September 1998 to March 2004 were examined before and after the operation and followed up for 12-46 months. Complete urine retention in the postoperative period after removal of urethral catheter was achieved in 42% patients.
