The department offers the full range of diagnostics and treatment of diseases of the kidneys, urinary tract, as well as male reproductive organs in children and adults. The specialization covers the treatment of dysfunctions, acute injuries and inflammation, as well as the correction of complex malformations and treatment of cancers of the genitourinary system and male reproductive organs.
