Advances in renal intervention for trauma

Emelia N Bittenbinder et al. Semin Vasc Surg. 2013 Dec.

Abstract

Renal trauma is predominantly secondary to blunt trauma and is managed nonoperatively. Endovascular interventions are reserved for patients with a significant vascular injury recognized early. Renal injuries are uncommon among intra-abdominal injuries and account for a minority of injuries treated by the vascular specialist.
