Backround: Urolithiasis has been increasing in Mongolia recent years. The prevalence of urolithiasis is different in the countries of the world, and it was 7.54% in China, 8.8% in North America, and 5-10% in Europe as of 2011. In recent years, the prevalence of stones in western European countries is 5-14%, in Canada 12%, in Britain 7-15%. It is a common disease in most parts of the world, but it is rare in countries such as Greenland and Japan. When studying the recurrence of kidney stones, 10-23% after 1 year, 50% after 5-10 years, and 75% after 20 years were studied. In our country, there is an urgent need to study the prevalence and risk factors related to the increasing incidence of urolithiasis. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 35819 cases of urolithiasis diagnosed between 2011 and 2022, and the incidence per 10000 population. In 2020 years, 3625 cases of urolithiasis were reported, and 371 people were included in the study, assuming that a minimum of 360 healthy participants were needed to estimate at a 95% confidence level, an estimated 1% diagnosis. Also, 456 cases with stones were included in the study and statistical processing was done using SPSS 21 software. Results: The average age of the participants was 46.3 ± 17.6, and 19,356 (54.04%) were female. Since 2011, the total incidence of kidney stones has been distributed as a quadratic function and has been increasing annually. In Mongolia, the incidence rate of urolithiasis increased from 4.6 per 10000 population in 2011 to 17.96 in 2022 a 3.9-fold increase from 10 years ago. However, the new cases per 10000 population tripled from 3.72 in 2011 to 11.36 in 2022. Considering future prospects, it will increase to 19.4 per 10,000 population in 2023, 21.7 in 2024, 24.3 in 2025, 27.1 in 2026, and 30 in 2027. Compared to 2017, 10 years ago, it will increase by 3.6 times by 2027(Yt=6.145-1.735 х t+0.18 x t2). According to the correlation of risk factors for stone formation, people living in urban areas (mOR 14.5) have a higher risk of stone formation than people living in rural areas (mOR 1.21) (p 0.0001). When examining stone structure, 64.6% of all cases studied had calcium oxalate stones. Conclusion The incidence of urolithiasis is increasing every year and will continue to increase. People living in cities have a higher risk factor for stone formation.

However, the use of robots in medicine has only 30 years of history. The application of robots in surgery originates from the need of modern man to achieve two goals: the telepresence and the performance of repetitive and accurate tasks. The first ‘‘robot surgeon’’ used on a human patient was the PUMA 200 in 1985. In the 1990s, scientists developed the concept of ‘‘master–slave’’ robot, which consisted of a robot with remote manipulators controlled by a surgeon at a surgical workstation. Despite the lack of force and tactile feedback, technical advantages of robotic surgery, such as 3D vision, stable and magnified image, Endo Wrist instruments, physiologic tremor filtering, and motion scaling, have been considered fundamental to overcome many of the limitations of the laparoscopic surgery. Since the approval of the da Vinci robot by international agencies, American, European, and Asian surgeons have proved its factibility and safety for the performance of many different robot-assisted surgeries.
Comparative studies of robotic and laparoscopic surgical procedures in general surgery have shown similar results with regard to perioperative, oncological, and functional outcomes. However, higher costs and lack of haptic feedback represent the major limitations of current robotic technology to become the standard technique of minimally invasive surgery worldwide. Therefore, the future of robotic surgery involves cost reduction, development of new platforms and technologies, creation and validation of curriculum and virtual simulators, and conduction of randomized clinical trials to determine the best applications of robotics.

Background: An aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term functional outcomes of laparoscopic ureteropyeloplasty compared to that of open surgery at the Urology and Andrology Center of the First Central Hospital of Mongolia. Ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) is the most common site for upper urinary tract obstruction occurring 1 in 750 - 1500 births. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty was first reported in 1993 by Schuessler WW and its technique was dismembered pyeloplasty. Material and Methods: In the period from June 2018 to September 2019, we have operated 91 ureteropyeloplasty cases. Patients were randomized into Group I (45 laparoscopy) operated by the laparoscopic ureteropyeloplasty and Group II (46 open surgery) operated by the open ureteropyeloplasty. All the patients had ureteropelvic junction obstruction and ureteropyeloplasty was performed. Both groups were compared according to the operative time, and recovery duration. We studied restoration of renal function and causes of conditions. Demographic data including age, gender and complications were recorded. Renal diethylenetriamine penta-acetate scintigraphy was respectively performed 6 months after surgery. Results: Mean age was 32±12.05 ranging 16-62 in all the study population. A total of 91 (55 men and 36 women) were participated. Ureteropelvic junction stricture was occurred 75.66% in laparoscopic cases and 84.78% in open cases which leads to hydronephrosis and it was statistically different (p<0.028). Compared to that of open surgery, wound size was 6 time smaller, blood loss and hospital stay less than 2 fold and wound healing is 5 days shorter than open surgery. There was statistical different (p<0.001) between parameters of 2 groups. In laparoscopic and open group respectively, renal function was 41.78±10.02ml/min, 42.15±11.34 ml/min (1.73м2). After intervention, renal function was increased by (46±10.17ml/min, 46.09±11.50ml/min) and there was difference between 2 groups (p<0.003). In laparoscopic group, renal function was more improved than open group (p=0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic surgery had less blood, less analgesics usage, fewer hospital stays, and faster wound healing. Renal function was improved 6 months after surgery.

Purpose: Follow-up examinations in kidney donors is an essential yet necessary process in organ transplantation. In this study, we aimed to evaluate kidney function using biomarkers and biomarker based eGFR in kidney donors within 5 years of organ transplantation. Materials and method: 91 donors enrolled in our study. We measured body weight and blood and urine samples for laboratory tests. eGFR was calculated using 6 estimations. Result: The mean serum creatinine in participants was 0.81±0.22 mg/dL, cystatin C was 1.11±0.19 mg/dL, urea was 31.44±8.02 mg/L. Systolic hypertension in subjects was 130.0±16.5 mmHg while diastolic hypertension was 78.4±10.8 mmHg. In all donors, 15.9% (n=14) had hematuria, 23.6% (n=21) had proteinuria, 24.7% (n=19) had albuminuria. Body weight, creatinine, cystatin C and urea measurements had gradually increased over the years. The average eGFR was 72.9±17.9 to 112.8±34.0 ml/min/1.73m² showing 0.15%-35.22% before donation. Follow – up rate was 28.3-59.2% of total donors.Having health insurance and living far from Ulaanbaatar city influenced follow – up rate. Donor registration data should be updated regularly. Conclusion
1. Serum creatinine, cystatin C, urea was increasing in living kidney donors. Hypertension and microalbuminuria was greater than other donor study results.
2. eGFR decreased 0.15-35.22% in donor. CKD EPI combined equation was best for donor.
3. Health insurance and living far from Ulaanbaatar city were the influencing follow – up rate. Registration data is missing in 25.5%-82.4% of total donors suggesting enhancement in data collection.

Background: However kidney transplantation has being performed in Mongolia since 2006, because of pre-transplant sensitization, ABO incompatibility, hepatitis B and C virus activation many patients are taken kidney transplantation in abroad. The transplantation centers use own immunosuppressive regimens. Objective: Our aim was to assess the immunosuppressive regimens efficacy and toxicity in kidney transplant Mongolian recipients. Methods: We analyzed data from 96 adult kidney transplant recipients who had taken kidney transplantation in different transplant centers from August 2006 through January 2014. There were 3 kinds of regimens Group I Simulect induction with standard triple /FK506/CyA+MMF/AZA+steroid/, Group II Campath-1H induction with CNI monotherapy and Group III Campath-1H induction with standard triple /FK506/CyA+MMF/AZA+steroid/. We retrospectively collected the post-transplant first two years serum creatinine. The study was performed in 2014. The questionnaire was taken and blood samples collected for determination of tacrolimus through level and for other laboratory tests. The primary end point was the first two years serum creatinine, the secondary end points included rejection episodes, blood through level of tacrolimus and some laboratory findings. Results: The post-transplant first two years serum creatinine levels were significantly different in 3 groups. Group III showed similar results compared to Group I. There was not enough data of biopsy proven acute rejection episodes however group II said more rejections occurred. However participants said that rejection occurred in 15 (15.6%) biopsy was done only 3 (3.1%) cases. Blood through level of tacrolimus was significantly different in three groups. Some laboratory findings showed different between three groups. Conclusions A regimen of Campath-1H induction with CNI monotherapy (Group II) may be advantageous for short-term renal function and cost effective but there were more rejection complications and increased creatinine. The regimen of Campath-1H induction 11 with standard triple (Group III) may be advantageous for long-term renal function, allograft survival, but there should consider about infection complications and polycythemia. Simulect induction with standard triple could be best choice but transplantations were performed in experienced centers. The study enrolled few cases and cases which were performed at the beginning of transplant program so many things could influence on the result. The study was compared beginner transplant center with experienced centers. Longitudinal cohort study needed in the future.

There are many treatment options for the management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Open pyeloplasty has a high success rate and has been considered as a gold standard. Minimally invasive surgical techniques are associated with reduced morbidity, improved cosmetic result and better convalescence than open pyeloplasty. For endopyelotomy, these advantages for minimally invasive surgery such as laparoscopic pyeloplasty and robot assisted pyeloplasty have superior success rate than open pyeloplasty. However, the success rate for laparoscopic surgery could potentially be improved by careful selection of patients, using the criteria of stricture <2 cm, renal function >25% and the absence of severe hydronephrosis. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty and robot-assisted pyeloplasty have similar success rates to open pyeloplasty (>90%) and the best outcomes have been reported for robot-assisted pyeloplasty although this treatment option is less readily available than laparoscopic pyeloplasty. Retrograde endopyelotomy is a simple, safe, and effective therapeutic option for primary and secondary symptomatic UPJO.
Retrograde endopyelotomy should be considered a viable first-line treatment option for the management of patients with UPJO. These include balloon dilation, antegrade endopyelotomy, retrograde endopyelotomy, Acucise endopyelotomy and laparoscopic pyeloplasty. During last decade, advances in endourological techniques have resulted in significant progress in the development of minimally invasive surgical procedures to treat UPJO.
Surgeons described their modification of Kusters dismembered procedure that involved anastomosis of the spatulated ureter to a projection of the lower aspect of the pelvis after a redundant portion was excised. Laparoscopic pyeloplasty was first reported in 1993 both by Schuessler and others and by Kavoussi and Peters, who utilized dismembered pyeloplasty technique. During last decade, advances in endourological techniques have resulted in significant progress in the development of minimally invasive surgical procedures to treat UPJO. The combination of less postoperative morbidity, improved cosmesis, shorter convalescence and comparable operative success rates has lured many patients away from gold standard of open pyeloplasty. Only few retrospective studies have been conducted regarding laparoscopic versus open pyeloplasty. Success rates are comparable for laparoscopic pyeloplasty.
The number of minimally invasive surgeries performed by us increased from year to year. Therefore the characteristics and performance of the surgeries should be studied in detail and based on the finding the evidence based medicine should be placed in.

Introduction: Extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) revolutionizedthe treatment of urolithiasis and graduallybecame the favorite treatment option sothat today it is considered to be the first lineof treatment for patients with urolithiasis.The purpose of this study was assessment oftherapeutic efficacy, complications of ESWLin urolithiasis in Mongolia.Material and methods: A total of46 patients harboring renal and ureteralstones underwent ESWL between March2016 and September 2016 at First CentralHospital of Mongolia. Karl Storz ModulithSLK electromagnetic machines were usedto impart shock waves. All collected stonefragments sent for biochemical analysis.Results: A total of 46 patients 23 weremales (50%). Patients were mean age of34. The stone size distribution was 0.5cmto 3.1cm. The average treatment time wasranging from 75-110 minutes. The averagenumber of shock waves per treatmentwas 3172±378 (range 1500-4000). Theoverall success rate was 75.73%. All calculidisintegrated satisfactorily except for 3stones, which is located lower 1/3rd ofureter. Stone composition analysis proved tobe composed entirely or predominantly ofcalcium oxalate monohydrate. These patientsrequired to have ureterolithoextraction. Calculicomposition for remaining patients 12 werecalcium oxalate monohydrate, 17 calciumoxalate dehydrate, 6 uric acid and 1 struvite.Complications were mostly minor and rare.Most of the patients (90.7%) developedmacroscopic hematuria after treatment; fewpatients developed mild bruising at the entryand exit sites of the shockwaves on the bodywall. Severe complications such as renalhematoma and steinstrasse were diagnosedfor one patient each and their managementwas non-surgical.Conclusion: ESWL is therefore the firstline treatment for urolithiasis with stonesize smaller than 2cm. It has an efficiencyrate above 75, low procedure time, highsafety and good tolerability and minimalcomplication.

Backgroundin 2009 we have been done the laparoscopic nephrectomy in the patient with left kidney cancer. In Urologyand Andrological center of State central hospital we have been done the urological laparoscopic surgerywhich is 0.32% of all surgery from 2010 to 2016. Following such increasing number of laparoscopicsurgery in urology we aimed to study surgical approach’s efficiency between open and laparoscopic forkidney cyst.Material and MethodsSince 2012 in surgery for kidney cysts studies case series models the center UNTE urology andandrology center based on clinical cases 34. Renal cysts with her open and laparoscopic surgicaladmissions bed days, wound size, surgery time, the average number of parameters such as size of thecyst value, standard deviation, median values, the high and low values expressed are compared.ResultIn our study includes 34 patients who was undergo the kidney cystectomy by open or laparoscopictechnique and ages between 18-68 (average age 48.1±12.07). 20 of them female and 14 of them malepatients. 18 of them were undergone laparoscopic cystectomy and 16 were undergone open surgery.Our study show that the cyst size is 2.5-10cm (average size 6±1.7) and there is no statistical correlationbetween cyst size and surgical types. The laparoscopic kidney cystectomy procedure lasts around 55-130min (average duration 93.1±23) which is 26 min longer than open cystectomy. The patient who wentto laparoscopic surgery their hospital staying duration is 2 fold less than the patient who went to opensurgery. Post operation surgical wound long is 4±0.8cm in laparoscopic surgery and 20.1±2.8 in opensurgery and therefore 5 times less in laparoscopic surgeryConclusionEven though the laparascopic kidney cystectomy’s procedure duration is longer than open technique, ithas less hospital staying duration, small surgical wound and fast rehabilation time.

BackgroundThere are 137 soums of 17 provinces have plague foci in Mongolia. The 51.7% of them is case, 23.4%- low, 9.5% - high, 0.7% - hyper active. Main host of plague foci is marmot in Mongolia. According last20 year’s surveillance study, about 75.5% of Y.pestis was isolated from marmot, marmot carcassesand their flea. Human plague cases has been caused illegal hunting marmot in Mongolia. Even legaldocument which prohibited marmot hunting was appeared since 2005, people has been hunting marmotfor selling marmot meat, skin and other products. It is depends economy crises and other public issues inMongolia. Also influenced increase risk of human plague and being reverse result in plague preventionactivities.Materials and MethodsStudy was used data of rodent for zoonotic diseases suspicious which tested plague in National centerfor zoonotic disease (NCZD) in 2005-2015 and 13 local center for zoonotic diseases in 1988-2015. Datawas kept in NCZD and National archival authority. For mapping we used Arc View 3.2.ResultsTotally 397 event information of suspicious rodents and other animals was received in NCZD from 8 districtsof Ulaanbaatar city in 2002-2015. Most of information was received from Songinokhairkhan-64.2%district and smallest number was from Nalaikh district-0.3%. 92.2% of them were marmot, 0.1% of themwere marmot raw products for treatment purpose. Totally 1285 animal samples were tested by plaguedisease and the result was negative. Five hundred thirty tree marmots were carried to Ulaanbaatar from10 provinces. In that time plague foci were active and Y.pestis was isolated in provinces which marmotwas carried to Ulaanbaatar.In 1988-2015, totally 257 marmots and animals of 515 event information was received in15 provinces.Including 13.2% of them were birds, 84% of them marmot, 1.6% of them were livestock, 1.2% of themother animals. About 216 marmots were tested by plague. 51.2% of them were detected positive results.We develop conclusion based laboratory investigation result even it need high cost to take earlyprevention and response measures.Conclusion1. It is high risk to spread plague by carrying suspicious animal in urban area. Therefore, it is importantto take early response measures even it high cost. In further, increase cost and support rapid test ofhigh technology.2. To organize rational advertisement and increase knowledge of population about not doing illegalhunting, not selling marmot raw products in urban area, not using marmot raw products for treatmentuse and avoid contact with marmot carcasses.3. It is important to cooperate joint response measures with policeman, inspection agency andveterinary and human health sectors in Mongolia.

Thoracic surgery usually used for anesthesia double lumen endotracheal tubes, then ventilated one lung in NCC of Mongolia The clinical records of the 160 cases patients who had double-lumen endotracheal tubes to place in NCC of Mongolia. In patients during one lung anesthesia done 2012- 2014 were reviewed. All cases were performed high level thoracic epidural catheterization and put double lumen tube for jugular internal vena We are reporting 2012- 2014 anesthesia department at National Cancer Center of Mongolia. In our study involved all 160 open thoracic surgery cases with DLT. In study had anesthesia tidal volume 7.77+1.07ml/kg, one lung volume5.87+0.46 ml/kg, the Mongolian women DLT size 35.43+2.25Fr, deep 27.68+2.47 cm, Mongolian man DLT size 37.09+4.69cm, deep 28.43+2.6 cm. During anesthesia monitored average SpO2-95%+ 1.07,in analyzed arterial blood average SaO2- 92.65 %+ 5.69. (p<0.032) One lung anesthesia separating two lungs by double lumen tube (DLT) – the advantages of the method are allowing surgeons to operate safely in collapsed side of lung; there are a few reports of airway damages. The bronchoscope procedure is in need to use during the all operations in Mongolia. Other types of separation tube are required to be (especially in children) introduced. In the future lungs, esophagus, mediastinal tumors and heart, spine and vascular surgery need double lumen tube to global standards anesthesia widely available in Mongolia. The thoracic anesthesia use double lumen tube outside the epidural anesthesia decided that it can be combined with postoperative pain control. Correct technique of placing the double lumen tube one lung anesthesia surgical team and the shortness of time and the surgical risk patients with post-surgical complications and reduce mortality is of high importance in Mongolia. In our study is a dominant decided that it was linked to smoking habits
