非開放性腎損傷62例の臨床的検討

Abstract

Sixty two patients with blunt renal trauma were treated and followed in our clinic between 1976 and 1993. Immediate operation was performed in one with major laceration, 3 with ruptures and one with pedicle injury, that is, nephrectomy in 4 and partial nephrectomy in one. Expectant management with the purpose of preserving the injured kidney was performed in 33 contusions, 20 minor lacerations and 5 major lacerations, resulting in no complications. We confirm that expectant management of blunt renal trauma may be reliable if the condition of the patient is stable even in the case of rupture, and the treatment of associated injury is preferential.
