Abstract:Objective To investigate the etiology, prevention and treatment of measures urosepsis after transurethral operation. Methods Clinical data of 12 patients with urosepsis after transurethral operation from September 2007 to December 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Among the 12 patients, 3 received transuretheral resection of prostate, 8 received ureteroscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy, and 1 received digital flexible ureteroscopy with holmium laser lithotripsy. They all had different degrees of urosepsis. After ope-
ration 7 patients were transferred into ICU. Of the 12 patients, 1 died of multiple organ failure 10 days after operation, 1 suffered from multiple organ dysfunction syndrome with irreversible heart damage, the rest 10 all recovered well within 1 to 3 weeks after operation. Conclusions Urosepsis is one of the serious complications of transurethral operation, which we should pay more attention to. However, early diagnosis and treatment are the key points. The level of procalcitonin (PCT) can be an early warning sign for urosepsis.
