Comparative evaluation of the diagnostic possibilities by urography, arteriography, scintigraphy and pharmacophlebography in traumatic lesions of kidney parenchyma in dogs.

Traumatic lesions of kidney parenchyma, not penetrating into the renal collective system, are the most frequent kidney traumas in man. The absence of typical clinical symptoms and the inability of comparing radiological investigations with the actual state are strongly limiting the diagnostic possibilities. The object of the present work has been to give a comparative evaluation of urography, arteriography, scintigraphy and pharmacophlebography in 22 dogs in which lesions of kidney parenchyma were performed operatively.

Results of operative treatment of Fraley's syndrome.

Relying on their own observations, the authors describe nine patients in whom Fraley's syndrome was diagnosed and treated operatively. In six of them, calycopyeloneostomy was performed. In three of the patients, because of complications, the upper pole of the kidney was excised together with the changed calyx.
