SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF UROLOGY

The staff of the department wrote:12 monographs, one of which was included in the Golden Fund of Russian Science and received a state award as the best educational and methodological publication in the medical industry in 2014, more than 700 scientific articles, more than 40 methodological developments; patents for 11 inventions and more than 25 innovation proposals were obtained.

Monographs published by the staff of the department.

The monograph “PYOSORPTION” is the best educational and methodological publication in the medical industry in 2014. The monograph “Varicocele” was published in 2017.

About 15 candidate dissertations and one doctoral dissertation were defended under the guidance of Professor M. G. Arbuliyev. The department regularly conducts republican and interregional scientific and practical conferences on topical issues of urology, questions for self-control are compiled, a video class is organized.

The Department of Urology is a scientific and methodological center of the urological service of the Republic of Dagestan. The Society of Urologists has been functioning for more than twenty years. Its Chairman and Secretary are making great efforts to preserve this organization at the present time. At the meetings of the society, reports on the work of heads of departments, reports of graduate students, doctoral students and practitioners on current topics of urology are heard.

The department invented a device for improving adenomectomy  in 1987, with which it is possible to easily separate the urethra from the adenomatous nodes without damaging it (patent 2145244 of 10-02-2002). At the same time, the percentage of urethral strictures in the postoperative period decreases several times. The main provisions of this invention were presented in the journal “Urology and Nephrology” (1993), in the works of the plenums of the Society of Urologists of Russia in Sverdlovsk and Kursk, at the 9th Congress of Urologists of Russia in 1997 and 2002.         

G. Arbuliyev made a report entitled “Our version of extraurethral adenomectomy” and showed a video film at the 10th Congress of urologists. The work was approved by the participants of the congress and Academician N. A. Lopatkin and was reported several times at conferences of urologists of Dagestan and implemented in urological clinics of Dagestan, Rostov-on-Don, as well as other cities of Russia. Patent No. 2268086 was also obtained for this work in 2006.

 Another serious and authoritative work of the department is the treatment of epididymitis and epididymoorchitis by the method of incisions, which allowed to reduce the number of purulent complications after surgical interventions performed on the testicle and its appendage tenfold. The work was carried out for several years.

 Its results were published in the “South-Russian Medical Journal” for 2001. This work entitled “Method of surgical treatment of acute purulent epididymitis and purulent epididymoorchitis” was submitted for an author’s certificate at the Institute of Patent Examination and received patent No. 2288642. The method of epididymotomy by the method of incisions, proposed by the department, has become widely used in urological clinics of St. Petersburg and Moscow.    

The next major work that resulted in a new scientific direction is a new method of treating pyelonephritis, for which the department received an author’s certificate No. 1598268 under the title “Method of treating pyelonephritis” in 1990.   

The main position of this work is intra-cavity laser therapy of the pelvic-cup system of the kidneys in purulent pyelonephritis and bacterio-toxic shock.

The new provisions of this work are set out in the abstracts of the reports “New in laser medicine”, Moscow, 1990; in the journal “Urology and Nephrology”, 1997; in the article “Treatment of purulent pyelonephritis” – in the journal “Urology”, 2002; in the article “Bacterio-toxic shock in acute purulent pyelonephritis” – in the journal “Medicine, science and practice”, 1997; in the article “Clotting and anti-clotting blood system in pyelonephritis” and in the materials of the works plenums of the All-Russian Society of Urologists and congresses of urologists of Russia.

The monograph “Pyelonephritis” is entirely devoted to this problem  were published in 2001. Work on this problem is being carried out comprehensively, intra-cavity laser therapy has been introduced. As a result of this combined treatment, the therapeutic effect has significantly increased. The work was published in the South Russian Medical Journal for 2004 and in several other publications under the titles “A method for treating purulent pyelonephritis”.

The relevance of acute purulent diseases of the kidneys and paranephral tissue attracts special attention and makes us continue to study this problem in depth.        

The complex of surgical treatment included sorption therapy with carbon drainage-sorbent, which significantly improved the detoxification effect by accelerating the drainage of pus from the kidney and retroperitoneal space and preventing the ingress of toxins into the blood. 

  The economic effect of such a complex treatment is estimated at 40 million rubles. The work was submitted to the Institute of Patent Examination for an author’s certificate. A positive decision was received 2006 106371/14 (006803). The noted positive effect made us consider more widely the options for efferent therapy. The accumulated work experience and its results are presented in the monograph “PIOSORPTION”, published in 2014 and received the title of the best educational and methodological publication of the year.

The National Research Council of Thailand in the field of medicine awarded a gold medal to the work “Method of treatment of acute secondary pyelonephritis”, submitted to the “International Competition of Intellectual Property, innovations and Technologies”, held in Bangkok in 2016.
