[Renal injury in children]. / Travma pochek u detei

For over a 20 year period 183 children with renal injuries have been under observation (102 boys and 81 girls). As a rule, the diagnosis of such injuries was established due to roentgenological and radioisotopic studies. 131 children were treated conservatively, 52--surgically. The study of late results in renal injuries has shown that the highest incidence of complications was revealed in a group of patients in whom no revision of the kidney and pararenal space was performed. The presence of postoperative and posttraumatic complications in some patients enabled to revise the surgical policy in such injuries in favour of widening indications to surgical therapy.
