PURPOSE We aimed to identify factors related to technical and clinical success of percutaneous revascularization for blunt renal arterial trauma. METHODS All cases of percutaneous revascularization for blunt renal arterial trauma were searched in the available literature. We included a case of iatrogenic renal artery occlusion at our institution treated by percutaneous stenting 20 hours after...

Computed tomography (CT) plays a major role in diagnosis of blunt abdominal trauma of haemodynamically-stable children. The purpose of this article is to review the CT findings in children with hepatic, splenic, renal, adrenal, pancreatic, bowel, and mesentery injuries and in children with blunt abdominal trauma and active haemorrhage.

Purpose: Renal injury occurs in up to 5% of trauma cases and the kidney is third most wounded abdominal organ. The study objective was analyze clinical characteristics patients with blunt renal review treatment high-grade injuries.Methods: medical charts who visited Haeundae Paik Hospital between March 2010 February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Data on demographics, patterns, presentatio...

Introducción. El debate acerca del manejo de los pacientes con trauma renal continúa, pero cada vez se avala más la estrategia conservadora. En este trabajo presentan resultados no operatorio en renal, evaluando las variables que determinaron fallas el tratamiento y sus conductas posteriores.
 Métodos. Estudio observacional descriptivo retrospectivo. Se incluyeron mayores 15 años confirmad...

BACKGROUND Although the American Association of the Surgery for Trauma Organ Injury Scale is the gold standard for staging renal trauma, it does not address characteristics of perirenal hematomas that may indicate significant hemorrhage. Angiographic embolization has become well established as an effective method for achieving hemostasis. We evaluated two novel radiographic indicators--perirena...

INTRODUCTION Renal injuries occur in 10% of blunt abdominal traumas, 7% of these occur in kidneys with congenital or acquired disorders. Trauma of horseshoe kidney is an uncommon finding. PRESENTATION OF A CASE We present the case of 31 year-old caucasian man with no remarkable personal records, who was brought to our Trauma Unit soon after being involved in a motorcycle collision. A Contrast...

A renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare but important complication that can occur after renal trauma, renal biopsy, percutaneous nephrostomy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and partial nephrectomy. The incidence of this potentially life-threatening complication is less than 1%, but is likely to increase with the increasing popularity of endoscopic renal procedures. We present a case of a ...

Fortunately, acute renal artery injuries occur infrequently in blunt trauma patients. Renal salvage in the multi-trauma patient is a daunting task. If after judicious consideration, intervention is warranted, then expeditious repair should follow. Rapid control of exanguinating injuries should be accomplished and the patient stabilized for further intervention - surgical or endovascular. We pre...

The most frequent causes of blunt genitourinary injuries are falls from heights, motor vehicle accidents and sports injuries. Firearm injuries and penetrating stab wounds are also frequently encountered. Skeletal system traumas in the vicinity of the urogenital system can cause urological organ injuries. Though rarely, renal traumas can be dependent on the kinetic energy of the trauma and the r...
