Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze the 30-day mortality rate after renal trauma and determine factors that contribute to mortality, using data from 1,799 patients across 17 hospitals in France from 2005 to 2015.
- - The findings revealed a 30-day mortality rate of 3.27%, with only a small percentage of deaths directly attributable to renal trauma; significant risk factors included age over 40, hemodynamic instability, anemia, bilateral renal trauma, arterial contrast extravasation, and concurrent visceral and bone injuries.
- - The study highlights that mortality rates after renal trauma are primarily linked to multiple associated injuries rather than solely from the trauma itself, providing insights that could assist healthcare professionals in identifying patients at higher risk
Background: Some health care systems have set up referral trauma centers to centralize expertise to improve trauma management. There is scant and controversial evidence regarding the impact of provider's volume on the outcomes of trauma management.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of hospital volume on the outcomes of renal trauma management in a European health care system.
Background: Angiography with selective angioembolization (SAE) is safe and effective in addressing bleeding in patients with renal trauma. However, there are no validated criteria to predict SAE efficacy.
Objective: To evaluate factors predictive of SAE failure after moderate- to high-grade renal trauma.
Objectives: During ureteroscopy for urolithiasis, postoperative ureteral drainage with double J stent is frequently used. It may reduce acute postoperative pain and late ureteral stenosis. Double J stent can have negative impact on life quality.
