In the last decade, the health care system has been suffering from an imbalance of medical personnel and low efficiency in the use of nursing personnel in practical health care, which significantly affects the quality of medical care. The article reveals the main goals and objectives of the activity of mid-level medical staff in the system of providing medical care to patients in a urological hospital. The need for nurses to comply with the formulated standards is a central link in the process of organizing their activities. The effectiveness of treatment and recovery of patients without reducing the further quality of their lives depends on timely measures for care, psychological assistance, tact and compliance with ethical standards by nurses. All these factors directly affect the prospects for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with urological pathology, as well as the performance indicators of the urological hospital.

At present, the quality and availability of medical care are the aspects to which close attention is paid in the system of organizing medical care. One of the ways to achieve a high level of quality and accessibility of medical care is building up human resources, i.e. the presence of highly qualified general practitioners, sub-specialties and middle medical personnel in sufficient numbers in a medical organization. Currently, the oncological service of Russia has been assigned tasks to fulfill the instructions from the State Program for the Development of Health Care. The results of the work should lead to a decrease in mortality and an increase in the quality of life of the population. To address the issue of reducing mortality from malignant neoplasms, in particular from prostate cancer, a three-level system of oncological care has been created on the territory of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, including 1 regional center, 2 interdistrict cancer centers, 88 primary oncology rooms and 96 examination rooms. The tasks set to reduce morbidity and mortality from oncological diseases can be realized only with close interaction of the oncological service with the primary health care sector, in which the prevention should be the priority direction of work.

In connection with the introduction of endoscopic surgery and minimally invasive methods in modern urological practice, there is a tendency for reduction of upfront surgeries, which can significantly improve the patients’ quality of life,reduce recovery time in the postoperative period and decrease the percentage of complications in the first 5 years after surgery. The article presents a literature review of modern methods of surgical treatment of urolithiasis with calculi localization in the kidneys. When choosing methods of surgical treatment of urolithiasis, it is necessary to take into account the clinical features of the patient and the characteristics of the calculus itself: the size, shape, calculus composition, the presence of concomitant metabolic disorders and diseases associated with stone formation, infectious complications, the state of urodynamics and anomalies of the urinary tract.
