Renal Trauma
the most common injuries of the urinary system
Most injuries occur from motor vehicle accidents,
fights, falls, and contact sports
Deceleration
abdominal visceral injuries are present in 95% of
renal penetrating wounds.
Signs:
Lower rib fractures(11,12)
Deceleration
Vertebral injury
Ecchymosis in the flank or upper quadrants
of the abdomen
Gunshot
Psoas shadow, ground glass
Grade 2:
Renal parenchymal laceration into the renal cortex
Perirenal hematoma is usually small (<1cm)
Grade 3:
Renal parenchymal laceration extending through the
cortex and into the renal medulla.
Bleeding can be significant in the presence of
largeretroperitoneal hematoma.
Grade 4:
Renal parenchymal laceration extending into the renal
collecting system; also, main renal artery thrombosis from
blunt trauma, segmental renal vein,or both; or artery injury
with contained bleeding.
Grade 5:
Multiple Grade 4 parenchymal lacerations,renal pedicle
avulsion, or both;
main renal vein or artery injury from penetrating trauma.
Imaging studies:
Abdominal CT with contrast media is the best imaging study to
detect and stage renal and retroperitoneal injuries.
venous injuries
urinary extravasation: avulsion of the renal pedicle, renal
pelvic injuries
Decreased enhancement: arterial thrombosis, arterial spasm,
shock, renal artery injury (arteriography)
IVP
Arteriography(embolization)
sonography
Complications:
A. EARLY COMPLICATIONS:
Hemorrhage is the most important immediate complication
Urinary extravasation (urinoma) [prone to abscess
formation and sepsis]
perinephric abscess
B. LATE COMPLICATIONS:
Hypertension
hydronephrosis
arteriovenous fistula
Calculus formation
pyelonephritis
Treatment:
A. EMERGENCY MEASURES:
Treatment of shock and hemorrhage, complete resuscitation,
and evaluation of associated injuries.
B. SURGICAL MEASURES
1. Blunt injuries
2. Penetrating injuries
1. Blunt injuries:
98% of cases and do not usually require operation (bed rest
and hydration)
Indications for surgery:
1. persistent retroperitoneal bleeding
2. urinary extravasation
3. evidence of nonviable renal parenchyma
4. renal pedicle injuries
2. Penetrating injuries
Grades 3,4,5 Penetrating injuries should be surgically
explored.
Emergent laparotomy without imaging
Renal artery injury(<8h)
treatment
repair is in the operating room
Delayed repair
Clinical findings:
Pelvic fracture accompanies bladder rupture in 90% of
cases.
Pelvic fracture with supra pubic tenderness
Patients ordinarily are unable to urinate, but when
spontaneous voiding occurs.
gross hematuria is usually present.
Treatment:
extraperitoneal rupture
Indication for surgery:
1. patients who need another surgery
2. Open fractures of pelvic
3. Rupture of the rectum
4. fragment projecting into the rupture
.Intraperitoneal rupture
. Surgical repaire
Treatment:
1. Immediate management
2. Delayed urethral reconstruction
3. Immediate urethral realignment
Complications:
Stricture
impotence
incontinence
Treatment:
Hemostasis
Cystostomy
Anastomosis
Diagnosis:
Physical exam:
Enlargement and edema of the testicle; edema involving the entire
scrotum
Scrotal erythema
the testis is high riding compared with the other side
The cremasteric reflex is almost always absent or diminished on the
affected side
Imaging studies:
Imaging studies usually are not necessary. Ordering them wastes valuable
time when the definitive treatment is emergent urologic consultation for
surgical management.
color Doppler ultrasonography: Absent or decreased blood flow in the
affected testicle
Radionuclide Scan: demonstrate decreased uptake in the affected testicle
Testicular tortion
the torsion of the spermatic cord structures and subsequent loss of
the blood supply.
Presentation:
sudden onset of severe unilateral scrotal pain followed by
inguinal and/or scrotal swelling.
Torsion can occur with sports or physical activity, can be related
to trauma in 4-8% of cases,or can develop spontaneously.
Vomiting
Fever, Dysuria, frequency are usually absent.
Treatment:
Immediate surgical exploration is indicated(4h)
If treatment is delayed, the patient may experience decreased fertility or may require
orchiectomy(8h)
The spermatic cord is untwisted, then fix gonads to the scrotal wall

priapism
Priapism is an uncommon condition of prolonged erection. It is
usually painful for the patient, and no sexual excitement or desire
is present.
A bimodal distribution has been noted, with peaks at 5-10 years
and 20-50 years
Etiology:
The most common cause of priapism in the pediatric
population is sickle cell disease
Leukemia, trauma, idiopathic, pharmacologic
Fat embolism (from multiple long-bone fractures or
intravenous infusion of lipids as part of total parenteral
nutrition)
Prostate cancer, Bladder cancer (highest risk), Hematologic
cancer (leukemia), Renal carcinoma, Melanoma
Classification:
High-flow priapism (nonischemic)
usually occurs secondary to perineal trauma, which
injures the central penile arteries and results in loss of
penile blood-flow regulation
Low-flow priapism (ischemic)
presents with a history of several hours of painful
erection.
The glans penis and corpus spongiosum are soft and
uninvolvedin the process
Presentation:
Obvious erection is the key physical finding in any case of priapism
Pain and tenderness
Edema
Thrombosis, fibrosis, necrosis
Diagnosis:
history
Physical examination
CBC, hemoglobin S determination
Penile blood gas (PBG) test
Color-flow penile Doppler imaging
Treatment:
low-flow priapism
starting with therapeutic aspiration
Irrigation
intracavernous injection of a sympathomimetic agent
attempt to treat the underlying condition
High-flow priapism
embolization of the offending vessel
Surgical treatment:
A unilateral shunt is often effective
Complications:
Fibrosis
impotence
