Title: [A study of 114 cases of urinary tract injury]. Author: Suzuki N, Kubo T, Ohori T. Journal: Hinyokika Kiyo; 1987 Jan; 33(1):55-63. PubMed ID: 3577967. Abstract: In 11 years between January, 1974 and December, 1984 114 patients (92 males and 22 females) were admitted to our departments for urologic injuries. As there were four patients with multiple injuries (both kidneys 1, kidney and ureter 1, kidney and urethra 1, and bladder and urethra 1), the number of cases with kidney, ureter, bladder and urethral injuries were 76 (64%), 33 (28%), 6 (5%) and 3 (3%), respectively. The most frequent incidence was in the second decade. Out of the 75 cases of renal injuries there were 42 cases (56%) of contusions, 21 (28%) of lacerations, 7 (9.3%) of ruptures and 5 (6.7%) of pedicle injuries. Only 14 cases (18.7%) were treated surgically, namely six by nephrectomy and eight by a conservative approach (suture 1, drainage 3, partial nephrectomy 3 and pyeloplasty 1). Of the 3 cases of ureteral injuries all cases were treated surgically. Of the 6 cases of bladder injuries four cases were treated surgically. Of the 33 cases of urethral injuries 10 cases were complicated by fractures of the pelvis. Twenty three cases (74%) were treated surgically.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
