The consequence of that is the suppurative destruction of the renal parenchyma. Instead of infection and obstruction which play a role in its etiology, some factors can be considered as risk for pyonephrosis, such as immunosuppression due to medications (steroids), disease (diabetes mellitus, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome [AIDS]). Patients with pyonephrosis may present clinical symptoms and signs such as fever, flank pain and nephromegaly. The diagnose is performed using imaging means (computed tomography, ultrasound). Without treatment, the disease can progress to the urosepsispyonephrosis, which is the most redoubtable complication. The chosen treatment for patients remains nephrostomy or nephrectomy. In some cases, partial nephrectomy may be an option. We are presenting a case of a diabetic patient who with a giant pyonephrosis.展开更多

After a definite preoperative diagnosis of pyonephrosis, the traditional approach1 has been initial drainage through puncture and nephrostomy. Upon the stabilization of symptoms, a second-phase operation is performed. If pus is discovered during an intra-operative puncture, a nephrostomy tube is deposited until a second elective operation. With the advancements of science and technology, the third generation EMS LithoClast master is capable of not only efficiently crushing and removing the stones, but also lowering the intra-pelvic pressure through vacuum suction. Thus the surgical risks have been greatly reduced so that many one-phase operations for calculous pyonephrosis may be completed.2展开更多
