A clinical case of surgical treatment of a patient with autosomal dominant type of polycystic kidney disease, stage 5 of chronic kidney disease and secondary arterial hypertension is presented in the article. The technique of single-stage bilateral laparoscopic nephrectomy, patented by the authors, is described. The practicability and safety of a simultaneous bilateral procedures was demonstrated, as well as the advantage of laparoscopic access for this type of surgical interventions. The successful and prompt procedure allowed the patient to undergone to allotransplantation of a cadaveric kidney as soon as possible.

For the purpose of improving diagnosis of prostate cancer (PC), the authors used an innovative HistoScanning device. According to the standard procedure accepted at the clinic, 326 patients admitted with suspected prostate cancer were evaluated. Patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were divided into three groups depending on the degree of its increase, which ranged from 1.09 to 209 ng/ml; Group 4 (conventional control) consisted of patients with BPH, and Group 5 (control) consisted of healthy men aged 21 to 28 years. At the next step, histoscanning was performed with construction of maps of the prostate, which was used when performing a biopsy. The results of histoscanning were compared with data of morphological examination of biopsy material, and with the data of visual and morphological studies of surgical specimens in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. High diagnostic value of histoscanning was demonstrated, as even in patients of Group 1 sensitivity was 89%, specificity--96%, in patients of Group 2 and 3--96 and 94%, 99 and 97%, respectively. False positive results occurred in 11% of cases, false negative--only in 0.6%.
