Early Life and Education
Solomon Goligorsky was a Soviet urologist and nephrologist. He was born in an unknown date and place. He graduated from the medical faculty of Yassy University in 1934.

From 1941 to 1944, Goligorsky worked as a military surgeon in evacuation hospitals. In 1944, he returned to Kishinev and began specializing in urology. He served as the head of the Department of Urology and Nephrology at Kishinev Medical Institute until 1966.
Achievements and Contributions
In 1960, Goligorsky defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic of "Small Bladder. Intestinal Plasticity Issues." He published an expanded version of his dissertation as a monograph in 1959. Goligorsky was a prominent figure in the field of urology and nephrology, with over 270 scientific papers and 11 monographs to his name. His works focused on functional diagnostics of inflammatory kidney and urinary tract diseases, development of plastic surgical methods in urology, acute and chronic kidney failure, and extracorporeal hemodialysis. Some of his books, such as "Essays on Urological Semiotics and Diagnosis," "Pyelonephritis," and "Acute Renal Failure," were repeatedly reprinted.
