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.
Objectives: Knowing the treatment's time of a complex stone is important for operating programming. It depends on the installation time, renal access time and the rate of fragmentation. The main objective of the study is to calculate the processing speed of complex stones by the percutaneous mini-nephrolithotomy (mini-NLPC) technique.

Objective: To evaluate factors predictive of SAE failure after moderate- to high-grade renal trauma.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare observation and early drainage by ureteral stenting in patients with blunt renal trauma and urinary extravasation.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective national multicenter study was performed including all patients admitted for renal trauma at 17 hospitals between 2005 and 2015. Patients presenting with a urinary extravasation on initial imaging were considered for inclusion.
