Management of colon injury after percutaneous renal surgery

Fernando Korkes et al. J Endourol. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

Percutaneous access to the kidney has gained widespread use during the last decades. Iatrogenic colon injury is an uncommon but serious complication. Diagnosis is sometimes delayed, and treatment strategies are still controversial, including conservative management, colostomy, or primary repair. The aim of this review is to identify optimal diagnostic and treatment options for such injuries.
