RESUMO
We report our clinical findings on 7 tumors in 5 patients who underwent successful enucleation of renal tumor with a microwave tissue coagulator. All patients presented with incidentally-found renal tumor on ultrasonography or computed tomography. One patient had bilateral renal tumors. The mean size of the renal tumor was 2.5 cm (Range 1.0-5.2 cm). One patient had a tumor larger than 5 cm, and was found to have renal insufficiency preoperatively. Four cases were clinically diagnosed as T1aN0M0. In all patients, the renal tumor was enucleated with a microwave tissue coagulator successfully without renal pedicle clamping. The mean operative time and blood loss were 241 minutes and 788 ml, respectively. The pathological diagnosis was renal cell carcinoma in all cases. Although 2 patients had preoperative renal insufficiency, there were no serious postoperative complications and no evidence of loss of renal function as a result of this operation. Our findings suggest that renal tumors can be enucleated with a microwave tissue coagulator safely and successfully without damaging renal function.

The time course of the concentration of cefmetazole (CMZ) in the serum and in skin and intestinal tissues was determined after a single intravenous injection of 2 g of the drug. CMZ moved into them well. Furthermore, 41 patients with postoperative wound infection (superficial in 29 and deep in 12) were treated with CMZ 2-4 g daily. Bacteriological examination of the lesions with simultaneously carried out. As a result, 101 strains of bacteria were isolated and identified. Mixed infection was found in 27 cases (65.9%). Fifteen strains (14.9%) of E. coli, 15 (14.9%) of B. fragilis, 7 (6.9%) of Klebsiella sp. and 7 (6.9%) of Proteus sp., were the main bacteria isolated. Eight cases (19.5%) had mixed infection of E. coli and B. fragilis. The committee (3 members) evaluated CMZ to be effective in 75.6% (31 of 41 cases) and bacteria disappeared in 60.5% (23 of 38 cases). The side effects observed were pyrosis and feeling of gastric malaise in 1 case. The results suggest that CMZ is useful, which exerts an excellent effect on postoperative wound infections.
