Objective To analyze the clinical features of pulmonary embolism(PE) after urologic surgery in order to provide the theory base for preventing pulmonary embolism Methods CNKI database was used to look for our subjects who were with PE after urologic surgery from January 2005 to December 2011.Ten cases were selected.Three related patients simultaneously in Xuancheng Central Hospital were also recruited as our subjects.The information of diagnosis and treatment information and clinical features were collected.Results Among the 13 patients,3 were women and 10 were men with confirmed PE.Their age ranged from 48 to 79 years old and the average was 61.Among the 13 patients,2 conducted routine surgery,and the other 11 conducted mini-invasion operation.The 13 patients underwent PE from 2 to 18 days after urologic surgery and 7 patients (53.85%) died of PE.Conclusion No specificity of clinical feature for PE was found to contribute to cure rate.Early diagnosis and prevention of PE are important,and anticoagulant treatment and immediate thrombolytic are critical.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of kidney sparing operation in the surgical treatment of calculous pyonephrosis. Methods 31 cases of calculous pyonephrosis were treated by nephrolithotomy or ureterolithotomynephropyelostomy with a double J catheter stent in the ureter.23 cases have been followed up and evaluate. Results The renal function returned to some extent in 78.3%(18/23).However,renal atrophy was observed in 21.7%(5/23) one year after and stone recurrence in 13%(3/23). Conclusions Calculous pyonephrosis of short course on reliving the obstruction would cause the return of renal blood circulation and renal function in near 80.0% of the cases.Thickness of the remaining renal cortex might not be the sole parameter to keep the kidney or not.To save the kidney in calculous pyonephrosis of short course might be feasible.
