BelSU doctors represent the university at international conferences

Yekaterinburg hosted a three-day event of the 14th Congress of the Russian Society of Urology. At ten venues of the exposition centre, the organisers curated a wide programme of plenary sittings and sectional sessions, educational master classes and schools by the Russian Society of Urology. Some of them were organized jointly with the International Society of Urologists headed by its President, Jean de la Rosette. The symposium covered current topics on diagnostics, treatment and prevention of a wide range of urological conditions.

Sergey Shkodkin, Professor of the BelSU Department of Hospital Surgery presented a report on Testosterone Replacement Therapy in the Immediate Postoperative Period after BPH Enucleation, and Alexey Polishchuk, teaching assistant of the same department spoke on the Efficiency of Long-Term Replacement Therapy in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome.

At the 7th FOR LIFE International Forum of Oncology and Radiotherapy in Moscow, postgraduate students Evgeny Ponomarev and Kirill Shkodkin presented their reports on Hemostatic suture in kidney resection, and on Adrenalectomy for hypernephroma: ideology and technical features.

At the Jubilee 12th National Congress of Transplantologists with international participants, organised on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of Russia’s main transplant centre, the National Medical Research Centre for Transplantation and Artificial Organs named after V.I. Shumakov, participant doctors presented achievements and set tasks on implementing solutions for unresolved issues in such interdisciplinary areas of medicine as transplantation and artificial organs. Sergey Shkodkin made a report on Urodynamically significant lymphoceles after kidney transplantation.

‘The medical profession, like no other, requires constant training throughout the entire life in the profession. Urology is one of, if not the most, high-tech and dynamically developing medical specialties. Therefore, it is not only a pause, but even a slowdown in the educational process that becomes a threat by an uncorrectable lagging behind professional trends. This is what causes so high requirements for the educational component for doctors in general and for the urological community in particular,’ he said.

Teaching practitioners of the BelSU Medical Institute also presented their acievements at the 19th International Congress of the Russian Association of Oncological Urology in Moscow.
