Abstract
All patients underwent exploratory laparotomy for abdominal trauma and had associated urologic injuries, which were managed by conservative surgery. Patients (48) with non-expanding retroperitoneal hematoma were treated expectantly. Nine patients needed exploration and drainage only, while 18 had some form of renorrhaphy. Four patients underwent repairs of renal pelvic injuries, 12 underwent partial nephrectomy and 11 underwent repairs of renal pedicle injuries. A conservative approach to renal trauma is emphasized.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
