[Multidisciplinary approach in urology. Research aspect]

Abstract

Multidisciplinary studies in urology is becoming a new global trend which is associated with an emerging of omix technology, big data, the development of IT and other technologies. The concept of "multidisciplinary approach" as well as a brief historical analysis of the development of urologic science are discussed in the article, based on the international Scopus database. An example of a multidisciplinary approach implemented in the Science and Technology Park for Biomedicine of Sechenov University is given. The stages of the creation and implantation of the tissue-engineering urethral wall are described. For the successful development of urologic researches, the active involvement of specialists from various fields of knowledge is required. Such a combination of competencies has already allowed to solve problems of an extremely high level of complexity now, and not in the distant future.

Keywords: multidisciplinary approach; tissue engineering; urology.
