| Abstract: | Altogether 35 children (21 boys and 14 girls) with traumatic renal lesions ages 5 to 14 were examined, of them 23 were subjected to operation 2-13 h after injury, 12 patients received conservative therapy. The patients were divided into 3 groups with relation to a degree of severity of injury: mild (12 patients), moderate (20 patients) and grave (3 patients). All the children were given combined clinical, x-ray and radiological examination. Normally the most informative diagnostic method was excretory urography, particularly its infusion variant. Renography, renoscanning or dynamic renoscintigraphy were employed for observation over time to reduce radiation exposure. |
