[Percutaneous catheter drainage for post-traumatic perinephric urinoma]
Abstract
From June 1989 to April 1992, 5 patients with post-traumatic perinephric urinoma were treated by using percutaneous catheter drainage. The urinoma disappeared and the renal function restored in all the 5 patients 18-27 days (average 21.8 days) after continual drainage. Follow-up for 1-4 (averaging 2-6 years) years showed non-recurrence of the urinoma in all the 5 patients. The procedure is characterized by less distress and economical to the patients. It can keep the kidneys intact. The pathogenesis, pathology, diagnosis and treatment are discussed along with a review of the literature.
