In the 2020 Prague Virtual Conference of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S), Sharon Traweek was awarded the society’s John D. Bernal Prize jointly with Langdon Winner. The Bernal Prize is awarded annually to individuals who have made distinguished contributions to the field of STS. Prize recipients include founders of the field of STS, along with outstanding scholars who have devoted their careers to the understanding of the social dimensions of science and technology. This essay comprises Traweek’s acceptance speech, delivered on Monday, August 17, 2020 at the virtual joint conference of the Society for the Social Studies of Science (4S) and the European Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST), and revised and submitted for publication in Engaging Science, Technology, and Society on Sunday, September 20, 2020.

RISK FACTORS FOR COMPLICATIONS AFTER OPEN ADENOMECTOMY IN BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA IN A PATIENT WITH DIABETES MELLITUS

Наиболее часто пациенты с наличием симптомов нижних мочевых путей тяжелой степени (по шкале IPSS), которые резистентные к консервативной терапии, а также пациенты с наличием аденомы размерами 80 см3 и более, являются кандидатами на оперативное лечение.[1] Долгие годы трансуретральная резекция гиперплазии предстательной железы является «золотым стандартом» оперативного лечения (с точки зрения эффективности), однако возникновение осложнений стимулировали исследователей к разработке новых методов лечения.[2] Открытая аденомэктомия (чаще всего чрезпузырная), рекомендованная Европейской Ассоциацией Урологов как эффективный метод лечения пациентов с объемом железы >80 см3, характеризуется длительным пребыванием в стационаре и серьезными осложнениями, такими как кровотечение из послеоперационной раны, инфекция, образование рубцов в мочевыводящих каналах, временное недержание мочи, стриктура уретры[3]. Most often, patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms (according to the IPSS scale) who are resistant to conservative therapy, as well as patients with adenomas of 80 cm3 or more, are candidates for surgical treatment.[1] For many years, transurethral resection of prostatic hyperplasia has been the "gold standard" of surgical treatment (in terms of effectiveness), but the occurrence of complications has stimulated researchers to develop new treatment methods.[2] Open adenomectomy (most often percutaneous), recommended by the European Association of Urologists as an effective treatment method for patients with a gland volume >80 cm3, it is characterized by a long hospital stay and serious complications, such as bleeding from a postoperative wound, infection, scarring in the urinary channels, temporary urinary incontinence, urethral stricture.
