Nonoperative Management Outcomes of Isolated Urinary Extravasation Following Renal Lacerations Due to External Trauma

Abstract

Nonoperative management of urinary extravasation in patients sustaining traumatic injury to the kidney without associated abdominal or vascular injury is safe and results in resolution in more than 90%. In patients with persistent urinary leakage endoscopic ureteral stent placement may be needed and is successful.
