The Minister presented an honorary award to the distinguished scientist
On the initiative of Lavrenti Managadze, laboratories for organ transplantation and hemodialysis, as well as a kidney transplantation center, were established at the Kipshidze Experimental and Clinical Surgery Institute in Georgia. In 1976, under the leadership of Lavrenti Managadze, kidney transplantation operations were performed for the first time in our country. This process continues to this day at the Urology Center.
Academician L. Managadze's scientific field encompasses reconstructive surgery in urology, oncourology, endoscopic surgery (including laparoscopic and percutaneous surgery), the treatment of urolithiasis using all modern methods, pediatric urology, and kidney transplantation. One of the methods developed by L. Managadze and his colleagues has gained international recognition and is known as the "Tiflis-Pouch".
In 2004, Lavrenti Managadze was awarded the State Prize of Georgia in the field of technology and science. He is the only Georgian urologist to become an honorary member of the European Association of Urology. Also noteworthy is his scientific cooperation with the University Hospital of Mannheim, Egyptian specialists (Mansoura University Urology Clinic), and others.
Academician L. Managadze has published 350 papers, numerous scientific works, and monographs. The scientist's contribution to the training of young specialists is also immense; under his guidance and consultation, 12 candidate and 10 doctoral dissertations have been defended.
