Immediate surgical management of severe renal injuries in multiple-injured patients.
Urology 1983 Februrary
Between 1969 and 1980, 1,132 renal injuries were recorded in 1,120 patients. Of the 129 patients with a severe renal injury (laceration, rupture, pedicle injury), 118 (91%) had associated injuries and 101 (86%) required an immediate laparotomy by general surgeons for intra-abdominal injury. Immediate surgical management was performed on 90 severe renal injuries and resulted in a nephrectomy rate of 5 of 55 lacerations (9%), 16 of 17 ruptures (94%), and 10 of 18 pedicle injuries (56%). Seven of the 18 pedicle injuries (39%) had immediate repair with salvage of the kidney. Conservative management was done on 32 severe renal injuries. Autopsy revealed 10 severe renal injuries in 9 patients who died in the operating room or on admission. A delayed renal operation was required in 9 (28%), and total renal loss (nephrectomy plus main renal artery injury) occurred in 7 of the 32 cases (22%). The severe degrees of renal injury did not all resolve spontaneously. Immediate surgical management of the patient with a severe renal injury resulted in a nephrectomy rate comparable with that of conservatively managed renal injuries.
