  • Title: Complete pyelo-calyceal avulsion as a result of blunt abdominal trauma.
    Author: Pagano S, Pachera F, Ruggeri P.
    Journal: Scand J Urol Nephrol; 1999 Feb; 33(1):66-8. PubMed ID: 10100368.
    Abstract:
    We present a rare case of complete avulsion of the kidney collecting system as a result of blunt abdominal trauma. Emergency celiotomy precluded radiographic studies. Perinephric hematoma was mild, the lesion was not detected and this later led to a nephrectomy. Pelvis disruption diagnosis is frequently delayed, and this compromises surgical reconstruction.
