  • Title: Complications of renal trauma.
    Author: Peterson NE.
    Journal: Urol Clin North Am; 1989 May; 16(2):221-36. PubMed ID: 2652852.
    Abstract:
    The potential deleterious consequences of renal trauma are well known, but reported incidences diverge broadly and are often exaggerated by the inclusion of sequelae of inconsequential nature and of disorders that may have antedated injury. The author adds unnecessary renal exploration and surgery to the usual list of complications, deliberately provoking consideration of the unresolved controversy over the relative merits of aggressive and conservative management of injuries of intermediate severity.
