In 1941, he entered the 1st Moscow Medical Institute named after I. M. Sechenov, from which in 1943 he was transferred to the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute named after N. I. Pirogov. In 1947, he graduated from the Faculty of Medicine and was enrolled in residency at the Department of Faculty Surgery of the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute, which he successfully completed in 1950 and was elected to the position of assistant of the Department. In 1953, he defended his candidate’s dissertation and in the same year was transferred to the Department of Urology of the 2nd MMI, where under the supervision of the Professor A. Ya. Pytel, he worked as the assistant, Associate Professor and Professor of the Department, and in 1967, he was elected the head of the Department of Urology and Surgical Nephrology. In 1959, he defended his doctoral dissertation “Renal Angiography”. He introduced general anesthesia with tracheal intubation and artificial ventilation into urological practice, as well as numerous cutting-edge methods of diagnosing and treating urological diseases. In 1958, together with A. Ya. Pytel, he was the first in our country to use the “artificial kidney” apparatus, and later took direct part in organizing hemodialysis departments in urological clinics in the USSR. In 1972, Nikolai Alekseevich organized the All-Union Society of Urologists of the USSR, which he headed until 1991, and was the chairman of the Russian Society of Urologists until 2012. For many years, he served as the chief urologist of the USSR Ministry of Health. On the initiative of N. A.

Under his supervision, 25 doctoral and about 50 candidate dissertations were defended. Academician N.A. Lopatkin died on September 16, 2013 and was buried at the Vagankovo Cemetery in Moscow. |
