Major Kidney Trauma and Conservative Management: Case Report and Follow Up

Introduction: About 10% of all patients with trauma have urogenital injuries; half of them are caused by blunt trauma and involve the kidney. The treatment of renal trauma is still controversial, but conservative management is increasingly accepted as the preferred approach to most renal injuries. Patients and Methods: Here we present two cases of young men with different types of major renal injuries, with conservative management and their follow up. Discussion / Conclusion: Both patients evolved favorably, one of them needed the placement of a ureteral stent and the other required blood transfusion. The conservative treatment for major renal treatment is appropriate when the patient is thermodynamically stable, but a strict follow up is necessary to reduce the complications.
