Renal Pedicle Avulsion in a Hemodynamically Stable Patient: A Case Report

Abstract

Renal pedicle avulsion in a hemodynamically stable patient is particularly rare. This may be due to relatively well-protected position of the kidneys in the retroperitoneum surrounded by abdominal viscera anteriorly and dense musculature/spine posteriorly. We present a case of hemodynamically stable renal pedicle avulsion injury following closed abdominal trauma. World J Nephrol Urol. 2018;7(3-4):82-84 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/wjnu370
