Objective: We aimed to evaluate our clinical approach in patients with renal trauma.
Material and Methods: Between 2005-2013, one hundred thirty five patient’s data who presented with renal trauma, were analyzed ret-rospectively.
Results: The mean age was 29.5. When etio-logically evaluated %42 of patients had penetra-ting trauma, %58 patients had blunt trauma and %1 patients had iatrogenic trauma. According to American Association of Trauma Surgery Organ Injury Scale; 11, 13, 26, 35, 13 percent of patients presented with Grade 1-2-3-4-5 injuries respec-tively. Conservative treatment was performed for 86% of the patients.
Conclusion: Conservative managements should be tried without considering the level of trauma especially for hemodynamically stabile patients who presented with renal trauma.
Key Words: Conservative management, nephrectomy, renal trauma
