Operative Urology

Operative urology is a field where surgical expertise, precise technique, and advanced technologies determine the treatment outcome. At Mechnikov Hospital, this approach is implemented at the highest level: we operate two robust urology departments that combine an academic foundation, clinical practice, and modern surgical techniques.

Why Choose Us
Modern urological surgery involves not only technical expertise but also trust between the patient and the physician. We combine experience, innovation, and compassion to ensure every patient receives the most effective and safe treatment.
Two robust urological facilities — more options for the patient.

Mechnikov Hospital features two dedicated urology departments: general urology and oncourology. This ensures that patients receive care for any level of complexity, ranging from the treatment of inflammatory diseases and kidney stones to the surgical removal of tumors. Furthermore, continuous collaboration between the departments allows for the rapid involvement of the necessary specialists.

Advanced technology — precision and safety of interventions.

Our operating rooms are equipped with technology from leading manufacturers, including Karl Storz, Richard Wolf, AMS, and Olympus. Endoscopic systems allow surgeons to perform procedures without large incisions, monitor every movement under visual magnification, and minimize the risk of complications.

Minimally invasive surgery — faster recovery.

The advantage of laparoscopic and endoscopic methods is that the patient experiences less postoperative pain, mobilizes sooner, and requires a shorter hospital stay. For many patients, this means returning to their normal routine within just a few days.

Organ-sparing approach — preserving quality of life.

Our specialists prioritize surgeries that preserve maximum organ function. For instance, in cases of kidney tumors, it is often possible to resect only the affected portion while sparing healthy tissue. This helps the patient avoid disability and maintain normal well-being in the future.

Patient comfort and safety — our primary focus.

Pain management is achieved using modern techniques, such as epidural or inhalation anesthesia. These methods not only effectively eliminate pain but also reduce stress on the cardiovascular system, which is particularly crucial for patients with comorbidities.

Urology Department No. 1

This department performs both elective and emergency surgeries for a wide range of urological pathologies—from urolithiasis to complex reconstructive procedures. The department has a capacity of 55 beds, including 10 dedicated to X-ray surgical urology.

Our primary focus is on minimally invasive treatments. The hospital actively utilizes endoscopic and laparoscopic surgeries, which reduce surgical trauma, shorten the postoperative recovery period, and preserve organ function.

Urology (Oncology) Department No. 2

The second urology department specializes in oncourology—the treatment of tumors of the kidneys, bladder, prostate, testicles, and other genitourinary organs. We perform both open and laparoscopic surgeries, including radical prostatectomy, nephrectomy, cystectomy, as well as organ-sparing procedures for early-stage cancers.

Our medical team adheres to a core principle: eradicate the disease while preserving the patient's quality of life. This is why organ-sparing surgery is our priority—whenever possible, our specialists remove only the pathological tissue, preserving the function of the kidney or bladder.

Advanced Pain Management

Patient safety and comfort are ensured through a multidisciplinary approach to anesthesia. We utilize modern pain management techniques—epidural and inhalation anesthesia—which allow for effective pain control even during complex surgeries and facilitate postoperative recovery.

Technologies and Equipment

Our operating rooms are equipped with endoscopic surgical systems from leading global brands, including Karl Storz, Richard Wolf, AMS, and Olympus. This enables our specialists to perform high-precision interventions with minimal risk of complications and excellent cosmetic outcomes.

Such technical equipment allows us to perform:

  • laparoscopic nephrectomies and kidney resections;
  • transurethral surgeries on the prostate and bladder;
  • endoscopic removal of urinary tract stones;
  • reconstructive surgeries following trauma or tumors.

Each surgery is tailored to the patient's individual characteristics, the stage of the disease, and any underlying conditions.

There is no need to endure discomfort or wait until the problem becomes more severe. Most urological conditions are successfully treated when addressed early. At Mechnikov Hospital, you will receive not only advanced diagnostics and effective treatment but also the support of specialists who understand how sensitive these issues can be.
