Abstract:
To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of renal trauma, a retrospective analysis of 300 patients with renal trauma was carried out. Among them, 274 (91 3%) had blunt renal injuries and 26 (8 7%) had penetrating injuries; 123 (41%) had multiple complicated intraabdominal injuries and 56 (18%) had concomitant shock. The positive rate was 48 7% by regular dose IVU examination and 90 9% by double dose IVU, 79 3% by ultrasonography, and 95 7% by CT. One hundred and eighty five patients were cured by conservative treatment. Fourteen patients died. B ultrasound could be conveniently used for primary assessment of renal injuries, while CT showed rapid and accurate condition of a renal trauma patient. The treatment depends on the severity of the injury. The conservative treatment was employed in most cases which present slight or moderate injury with no evident massive bleeding. Severe injury required surgical exploration. The operative approach was done through a transabdominal incision, which made it relatively easy to explore the abdominal contents and to manage the injured kidney. It was also very important to control shock and prevent other severe complications in the early stage of the treatment.
