RESUMO
The management of traumatic injuries in patients with ectopic kidneys presents special challenges. There is a paucity of literature regarding optimal strategies for renal salvage. We describe a case of a patient who presented in hemorrhagic shock after a motor vehicle collision. On initial operative exploration, he was found to have a large retroperitoneal mass. Subsequent imaging demonstrated a large retroperitoneal hematoma and an ectopic kidney. The patient was successfully treated with a combination of open renorrhaphy and endovascular angioembolization. This case demonstrates the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to treating these complex injuries.
