Although urological diseases are not directly related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), urologists need to make comprehensive plans for this disease. Urological conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and tumors are very common in elderly patients. This group of patients is often accompanied by underlying comorbidities or immune dysfunction. They are at higher risk of COVID-19 infection and they tend to have severe manifestations. Although fever can occur along with urological infections, it is actually one of the commonest symptoms of COVID-19; urologists must always maintain a high index of suspicion in their clinical practices. As a urological surgeon, how we can protect medical staff during surgery is a major concern. Our hospital had early adoption of a series of strict protective and control measures, and was able to avoid cross-infection and outbreak of COVID-19. This paper discusses the effective measures that can be useful when dealing with urological patients with COVID-19.
虽然泌尿系统疾病与 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）并无直接关系，但泌尿科医生仍需要对此病制定全面的应对计划。前列腺增生和肿瘤等泌尿系统疾病在老年患者中非常常见。这组患者通常伴有基础合并症或免疫功能障碍，他们感染 COVID-19 的风险更高，且病情往往更为严重。虽然发热可能是泌尿系统感染的症状之一，但实际上这也是 COVID-19 的常见症状之一；泌尿科医生在临床实践中必须始终保持高度警惕。作为一名泌尿科医生，我们如何在手术过程中保护医务人员是一个主要关注点。我院很早就采取了一系列严格的防护和控制措施，从而能够避免 COVID-19 的交叉感染和爆发。本文探讨了在处理 COVID-19 泌尿系统患者时可能有用的有效措施。
