Based on the personal experience, the authors emphasize the leading role of surgery in the treatment of patients with various malignant neoplasms of the urinary tract and masculine sexual organs. Current standard indications for surgical intervention and its scope are discussed with reference to the methods for the achievement of optimal immediate and delayed postoperative outcomes. Special emphasis is laid on the necessity of combined surgical techniques for the management of local and disseminated tumours of the urinary tract and male sexual organs. The rationale is proposed for extensive and combined operations on such neoplasms. The main avenues of further development of surgical oncosurgery are postulated with a view to improving quality of life of the treated patients.
