DR. ABDULLAH GHAZI ASS. CONSULTANT PMAH 13/2/2014 RENAL TRAUMA
10% of trauma involve genitourinary tract. 2% of them (solitary GU injury). Kidney is the most common injured organ.
Blunt: MVA. Fall down Deceleration → vascular injury Penetrating: Gunshot Stab wound
Renal injury suspected: Stab wound at upper abdomen, lower chest or flank. # lower rids, thoracic vertebra or upper lumber. Note: Gunshot is misleading. Hematuria, (best indicator, not correlate with severity)
RENAL INJURY Evaluation: Hx: Mechanism of trauma Loss of consciousness Hematuria Voiding after trauma Flank or supra-pubic pain Previous GU anomalies
RENAL INJURY Evaluation: Ex: Vital sign Abd: bruises, wound, distension, masses, tenderness Genitalia: peruses, wound, blood at the meatus DRE: high riding prostate
Enhanced CT-scan Indication: Gross Hematuria Mic. Hematuria + shock SBP<90 Hx, Ex, suspecting. Note: children have more risk of injury.
CT finding suggest major injury: Medial hematoma. Medial urine extravasations. Lack of parenchymal enhancement. Disadvantage: ? Venus injury.
86% manage conservatively. Restricted bed rest IVF NPO (? OR) Hgb q8hr ? Abx
BLUNT RENAL INJURY MANAGEMENT 89% of renal blunt trauma can managed conservatively Hotaling JMHotaling JM, J Urol FebJ Urol. 71% of Grade V need surgical management. Thanapaisal CThanapaisal C, 2013 Sep
PENETRATING RENAL INJURY MANAGEMENT Grade IV need immediate repair Minor degree of injury (penetrating, gunshot), posterior to anterior auxiliary line can managed conservatively.
In case of failed conservative management: Angioembolization:
Absolute indication of operation: Persistent renal bleeding. Expanding perirenal hematoma. Pulsatile perirenal hematoma.
Relative indication of operation: Urinary extravasation. Nonviable tissue >20%. Delay Dx of arterial injury. Segmental arterial injury.
Renal Injury In case of unstable patient: Immediate exploration One-shot intraoperative IVP can be done (2mg/kg)

Renal reconstruction principle:
Renovascular injury:. Clamp the pedicel, suture. Dx >8hrs, kidney cannot be salvaged. >20% non-viable tissue → exploration Damage control: laparatomy pads & re-open after 24hrs. ?? Life → Nephrectomy
Persistent urinary extravasation, perinephric infection, renal loss. Delayed bleeding 21D. Perinephric abscess HTN
Follow Up Low grade injury U/S High grade injury: CT scan after hrs CT scan after 3 months ?? DMSA
