Abstract
In this case report, we discuss a rare incident of avulsion-type renal injury in a 24-year-old male with no significant medical history. The injury occurred during a traffic accident, where he was involved in a direct impact collision between a motorcycle and a vehicle, leading to altered corticomedullary differentiation in the right kidney, a retroperitoneal hematoma, and free fluid in the cavity. The patient underwent successful emergency abdominal surgery, which involved the removal of the damaged kidney due to the severity of the injury. During his postoperative recovery in the ICU, he received extensive care, including sedation, mechanical ventilation, and vasopressor support. Ultimately, he made a successful recovery and was discharged after rehabilitation. This case highlights the complexities involved in managing patients with renal injuries resulting from high-energy impact accidents. It emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in treatment, the challenges associated with deciding on surgical intervention, and the significance of rehabilitation in patient recovery. The uniqueness of this case, characterized by its distinct mechanism of injury and the severity of the trauma, contributes to our broader understanding of renal trauma management in the field of trauma medicine. It underscores the need for personalized patient care strategies and emphasizes the effectiveness of surgical interventions in severe cases of renal trauma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In major trauma, lesions of the parenchymatous organs are subject of a controversy as regards the choice between an operative management (OM) in the operating room and a non-operative management (NOM) associated or not with angiography/angioembolization (AG/AE). METHODS Retrospective study of all consecutive data of patients coded as "traumatic pathology" in the period between 2011 and 2021. Were enrolled 13740 entries of adult patients with abdominal injuries, including at least: either hepatic or splenic or renal injury of AAST-OIS I. The primary outcome was to establish the rate of efficacy, respectively of OM and NOM. The secondary outcome is to analyze General (CG) and Specific (CS) complications, mean ward and intensive care unit (ICU) hospital stays. RESULTS One hundred sixty-two patients were included with 89 splenic injuries, 70 hepatic and 50 renal lesions; 35 treated with OM and 127 with NOM±AG/AE. The CGs registered in OM patients are seven (20%); seven SCs (20%); four GCs+SCs (11.4%). The average hospital stay was 24.91 days; mean ICU hospital stay of 10.74; five deaths. The CGs registered are 22 (17%); 12 SCs (9.4%); three GCs+SCs (2.3%). Average hospital stays 18 days; mean ICU hospital stay of 3.15; 6 deaths. Failure of the NOM strategy was recorded in nine patients with a success rate of 92.91%. CONCLUSIONS In OM the presence of numerous high-grade lesions leads to a rapid stabilization. The NOM has reduced the hospital stay and UTI hospitalization in a feasible and safe way in selected CT.

Abstract
Emergency general surgeons often provide care to severely ill patients requiring surgical interventions and intensive support. One of the primary drivers of morbidity and mortality is perioperative bleeding. In general, when addressing life threatening haemorrhage, blood transfusion can become an essential part of overall resuscitation. However, under all circumstances, indications for blood transfusion must be accurately evaluated. When patients decline blood transfusions, regardless of the reason, surgeons should aim to provide optimal care and respect and accommodate each patient's values and target the best outcome possible given the patient's desires and his/her clinical condition. The aim of this position paper was to perform a review of the existing literature and to provide comprehensive recommendations on organizational, surgical, anaesthetic, and haemostatic strategies that can be used to provide optimal peri-operative blood management, reduce, or avoid blood transfusions and ultimately improve patient outcomes.

[PMID: 38916616 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-024-04453-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The Reporting and Data System (RADS) has proven successful in various medical settings, but a standardized reporting system for abdominal emergencies is lacking. In this study, the Abdominal Emergency Reporting and Data System (AEM-RADS) for urgent findings on abdominal CT scans is introduced to address the need for consistency in emergency radiology. METHODS In this prospective observational study, conducted over a six-month period, the urgency of abdominal CT scans was assessed using the proposed AEM-RADS scoring system. The committee developed a scale ranging from AEM-RADS 1 (normal) to AEM-RADS 5 (urgent disease). Interobserver agreement between two observers with different experience was evaluated, and robust AEM-RADS reference values were established by radiologists who were not observers. Statistical analysis used mean, standard deviations and Kendall's tau analysis for interobserver agreement. RESULTS Among 2656 patients who underwent CT for abdominal emergencies, the AEM-RADS distribution was 17.50% AEM-RADS 1, 28.57% AEM-RADS 2, 7.22% AEM-RADS 3, 35.61% AEM-RADS 4, and 11.06% AEM-RADS 5. Interobserver agreement was high, especially for urgent and emergent cases (p < 0.0001). Notable discrepancies were observed in AEM-RADS categories 2C-D and 3B-C, emphasizing the influence of radiologists' experience on interpretation. However, the interobserver agreement for both AEM-RADS 2C-D and 3B-C were statistically significant (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS AEM-RADS showed promising reliability, particularly in identifying urgent and emergent cases. Despite some inter-observer discrepancies, the system showed potential for standardized emergency workups. AEM-RADS could significantly enhance diagnostic accuracy in abdominal emergencies and provide a structured framework for shared decision-making between clinicians and radiologists.0.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Screening for blunt intra-abdominal injury in children often includes directed laboratory evaluation that guides need for computed tomography. We sought to evaluate the use of urinalysis in identifying patients with clinically important intraabdominal injury (ci-IAI). METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed for all patients less than 18 years who presented with blunt mechanisms at a level I trauma center between 2016 and 2019. Exclusion criteria included transfer from an outside facility, physical abuse, and death within thirty minutes of arrival. Demographics, physical exam findings, serum chemistries, urinalysis, and imaging were reviewed. Clinically important intraabdominal injury was defined as injury requiring ≥2 nights admission, blood transfusion, angiography with embolization, or therapeutic surgery. RESULTS Two hundred forty patients were identified. One hundred sixty-five had a completed urinalysis. For all patients an abnormal chemistry panel and abnormal physical exam had a sensitivity of 88.9% and a negative predictive value of 99.3%. Nine patients had a ci-IAI. Patients with a ci-IAI were more likely to have abdominal pain, tenderness on exam, and elevated hepatic enzymes. When patients were stratified by the presence of an abnormal chemistry or physical exam with or without microscopic hematuria, urinalysis did not improve the ability to identify patients with a ci-IAI. In fact, presence of microscopic hematuria increased the rate of false positives by 12%. CONCLUSIONS Microscopic hematuria was not a useful marker for ci-IAI and may lead to falsely assuming a more serious injury.

Abstract
Solid organ injury (SOI) is common in children who experience abdominal trauma, and the management of such injuries has evolved significantly over the past several decades. In 2000, the American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA) published the first societal guidelines for the management of blunt spleen and/or liver injury (BLSI), advocating for optimized resource utilization while maintaining patient safety. Nonoperative management (NOM) has become the mainstay of treatment for SOI, and since the publication of the APSA guidelines, numerous groups have evaluated how invasive procedures, hospitalization, and activity restrictions may be safely minimized in children with SOI. Here, we review the current evidence-based management guidelines in place for the treatment of injuries to the spleen, liver, kidney, and pancreas in children, including initial evaluation, inpatient management, and long-term care, as well as gaps that exist in the current literature that may be targeted for further optimization of protocols for pediatric SOI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Trauma primarily affects the economically active population, causing social and economic impact. The non-operative management of solid organ injuries aims to preserve organ function, reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with surgical interventions. The aim of study was to demonstrate the epidemiological profile of patients undergoing non-operative management in a trauma hospital and to evaluate factors associated with mortality in these patients. METHODS This is a historical cohort of patients undergoing non-operative management for solid organ injuries at a Brazilian trauma reference hospital between 2018 and 2022. Included were patients with blunt and penetrating trauma, analyzing epidemiological characteristics, blood transfusion, and association with the need for surgical intervention. RESULTS A total of 365 patients were included in the study. Three hundred and forty-three patients were discharged (93.97%), and the success rate of non-operative treatment was 84.6%. There was an association between mortality and the following associated injuries: hemothorax, sternal fracture, aortic dissection, and traumatic brain injury. There was an association between the need for transfusion and surgical intervention. Thirty-eight patients required some form of surgical intervention. CONCLUSION The profile of patients undergoing non-operative treatment consists of young men who are victims of blunt trauma. Non-operative treatment is safe and has a high success rate.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE Genitourinary tract injuries constitute 10 % of all traumas, with renal injuries being common in pediatric cases due to reduced perirenal fat and abdominal wall muscle development. However, very few reports of pediatric renal trauma in Indonesia have been reported. In this case series, We present a case series of high-grade renal injury and review the literature on pediatric renal trauma in Indonesia. CASE PRESENTATION We present four cases with renal trauma as the subjects of this case study. The 13-year-old boy, who was the initial patient, complained of hematuria and abdominal pain after falling from a tree. The second patient, the 13-year-old boy, presented with left lower back pain and hematuria after being elbowed in the left waist. The third patient, a 14-year-old boy, had been in a motorcycle accident and got grade 5 renal injury according to AAST classification. The final case involved a 4-year-old boy who experienced recurrent hematuria caused by a pseudoaneurysm following blunt renal trauma. DISCUSSION Trauma is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children, with approximately 3 % of children assessed in pediatric hospital trauma departments having had trauma. With appropriate management according to guidelines, mortality can be avoided. CONCLUSION The case series highlights the significance of treating pediatric renal trauma patients individually according to their hemodynamic state and degree of impairment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically investigate and analyse the aggregated data from recent studies to provide a quantitative synthesis for a conservative approach to the management of high-grade kidney trauma, as accumulating evidence supports the favourable outcomes of a conservative approach. METHODS A comprehensive search was performed using databases, including PubMed, EBSCO, ProQuest, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library, to identify studies relevant to high-grade renal trauma in both adult and paediatric populations. The compare review focused on comparing conservative management interventions, such as observation, rest, resuscitation, transfusion, symptomatic management, and angioembolisation, with operative management interventions. Search strategies incorporated specific medical subject headings and keywords related to conservative management, kidney trauma, mortality, and renal preservation. Random and fixed-effect meta-analyses were conducted to estimate the rates of nephrectomy and mortality, respectively. RESULTS A total of 36 and 29 studies were included for qualitative and quantitative synthesis, respectively. The aggregated data showed a cumulative risk difference of 0.52 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.38-0.66, P < 0.001), indicating a higher likelihood of nephrectomy in cases where operative management was used instead of conservative management. In terms of mortality, conservative management demonstrated a lower risk difference of 0.09 (95% CI 0.05-0.13, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The results indicate that opting for conservative management in cases of high-grade renal trauma, particularly for haemodynamically stable patients, presents a lower risk of mortality and reduced probability of requiring nephrectomy when compared to operative management. These findings provide strong evidence in favour of considering conservative management as a viable and effective treatment option for high-grade renal trauma.

Abstract
Pelvic fractures sometimes lead to injuries of the urinary bladder, which commonly present as gross hematuria, dysuria and lower abdominal pain. As a type of urinary stone, bladder stones are usually secondary to lower urinary tract obstruction, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, urethral stricture, and neurogenic bladder. The present case report examines an unusual case of a delayed pubic fracture penetrating the bladder, which caused a secondary bladder stone. A 53-year-old man was first hospitalized at The Second Hospital of Jiaxing (Jiaxing, China) in January 2020 because of trauma-induced bleeding in the scalp and abdominal pain. The patient underwent abdominal exploration and partial bowel resection, and his condition stabilized after surgery. After discharge, the patient had regular outpatient check-ups every 2-3 weeks. However, after 3 months, in April 2020, the patient was readmitted to the hospital because of frequent urination, an urgent need for urination and dysuria. Abdominal computed tomography imaging and cystoscopy revealed a pubic fracture that had penetrated the bladder wall, accompanied by a bladder stone. Subsequently, cystolithotomy was performed, which provided significant relief of symptoms once the catheter was removed after 2 weeks. Since then, the patient has been followed up until January 2023 and had remained asymptomatic. Bladder stones caused by necrotic bone fragmentation are rare. Bladder injuries resulting from pelvic fractures can have delayed onset; therefore, clinicians should be aware of the possibility of urogenital injury in such patients. It is crucial for clinicians to comprehend the potential mechanisms involved, analyze the clinical data of patients, closely monitor their condition and implement appropriate treatment measures when necessary.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify and review the most up-to-date guidelines pertaining to bladder trauma in a unifying document as an updated primer in the management of all aspects relating to bladder injury. METHODS In accordance with the PRISMA statement, the most recent guidelines pertaining to bladder injury were identified and subsequently critically appraised. An electronic search of PubMed and Scopus databases was carried out in September 2023. RESULTS A total of six guidelines were included: European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines on urological trauma (2023), EAU guidelines on paediatric urology (2022), Urotrauma: American Urological Association (AUA) (2020), Kidney and Uro-trauma: World Society of Emergency Surgery and the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (WSES-AAST) guidelines (2019), Management of blunt force bladder injuries: A practice management guideline from the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) (2019), and EAU guidelines on iatrogenic trauma (2012). Recommendations were summarised with the associated supporting level of evidence and strength of recommendation where available. CONCLUSION Several widely recognised professional organisations have published guidelines relating to the diagnosis, investigation, classification, management, and follow-up related to bladder injury. There is consensus amongst all major guidelines in terms of diagnosis and management but there is some discrepancy and lack of recommendation with regards to the follow-up of bladder injuries, iatrogenic bladder injury, paediatric bladder trauma, and spontaneous bladder rupture. The role of increasing minimally invasive techniques seem to be gaining traction in the select haemodynamically stable patient. Further research is required to better delineate this treatment option.

Abstract
The Japanese Urological Association's guidelines for the treatment of renal trauma were published in 2016. In conjunction with its revision, herein, we present the new guidelines for overall urotrauma. Its purpose is to provide standard diagnostic and treatment recommendations for urotrauma, including iatrogenic trauma, to preserve organ function and minimize complications and fatality. The guidelines committee comprised urologists with experience in urotrauma care, selected by the Trauma and Emergency Medicine Subcommittee of the Specialty Area Committee of the Japanese Urological Association, and specialists recommended by the Japanese Association for the Surgery of Trauma and the Japanese Society of Interventional Radiology. The guidelines committee established the domains of renal and ureteral, bladder, urethral, and genital trauma, and determined the lead person for each domain. A total of 30 clinical questions (CQs) were established for all domains; 15 for renal and ureteral trauma and five each for the other domains. An extensive literature search was conducted for studies published between January 1, 1983 and July 16, 2020, based on the preset keywords for each CQ. Since only few randomized controlled trials or meta-analyses were found on urotrauma clinical practice, conducting a systematic review and summarizing the evidence proved challenging; hence, the grade of recommendation was determined according to the 2007 "Minds Handbook for Clinical Practice Guidelines" based on a consensus reached by the guidelines committee. We hope that these guidelines will be useful for clinicians in their daily practice, especially those involved in urotrauma care.

Abstract
To date, there are no efficacious translational solutions for end-stage urinary bladder dysfunction. Current surgical strategies, including urinary diversion and bladder augmentation enterocystoplasty (BAE), utilize autologous intestinal segments (e.g. ileum) to increase bladder capacity to protect renal function. Considered the standard of care, BAE is fraught with numerous short- and long-term clinical complications. Previous clinical trials employing tissue engineering approaches for bladder tissue regeneration have also been unable to translate bench-top findings into clinical practice. Major obstacles still persist that need to be overcome in order to advance tissue-engineered products into the clinical arena. These include scaffold/bladder incongruencies, the acquisition and utility of appropriate cells for anatomic and physiologic tissue recapitulation, and the choice of an appropriate animal model for testing. In this study, we demonstrate that the elastomeric, bladder biomechanocompatible poly(1,8-octamethylene-citrate-co-octanol) (PRS; synthetic) scaffold coseeded with autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells support robust long-term, functional bladder tissue regeneration within the context of a clinically relevant baboon bladder augmentation model simulating bladder trauma. Partially cystectomized baboons were independently augmented with either autologous ileum or stem-cell-seeded small-intestinal submucosa (SIS; a commercially available biological scaffold) or PRS grafts. Stem-cell synergism promoted functional trilayer bladder tissue regeneration, including whole-graft neurovascularization, in both cell-seeded grafts. However, PRS-augmented animals demonstrated fewer clinical complications and more advantageous tissue characterization metrics compared to ileum and SIS-augmented animals. Two-year study data demonstrate that PRS/stem-cell-seeded grafts drive bladder tissue regeneration and are a suitable alternative to BAE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate strategies that are followed after pediatric renal trauma during the recovery stage, with an emphasis on mobility and involvement in subsequent sporting activities. Renal trauma is the most common urogenital trauma in children. The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) scale is most commonly used to stratify the severity of injury. There is no consensus in the existing literature with respect to the recovery stage following renal trauma. METHODS A survey was constructed by the European Association of Urology (EAU) - Young Academic Urologists (YAU) Pediatric Urology Working Group and then made digitally available on SurveyMonkey. The survey consists of 15 questions exploring relevant factors and timing to start again with mobility and activity. RESULTS In total 153 people responded, of whom 107 completed the entire survey. The presence of pain and severity of trauma were acknowledged as most important factors to commence mobilization, whereas presence of hematuria was identified as an additional factor for sporting activity. Regardless of severity of trauma a minimum of 90% of respondents recommend return to noncontact sports within 12weeks. For contact sports, a minimum of 33% of respondents advised >12weeks minimum before starting again. A small number of respondents would never allow sporting activities again. CONCLUSION The time to allow sporting activity shows high variation among the respondents, some even restricting sporting activities completely. This survey highlights the need for a standardized protocol based on multicenter follow-up data.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to validate the previously reported association between delayed bladder repair and increased infection rates using the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB). METHODS Bladder injury patients with bladder repair in the NTDB from 2013 to 2015 were included. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to compare mortality, infection rates, and hospital length of stay (LOS) between patients who underwent bladder repair within 24 h and those who underwent repair after 24 h. Linear regression and multivariate logistic regression analyses were also performed. RESULTS A total of 1658 patients were included in the study. Patients who underwent bladder repair after 24 h had significantly higher infection rates (5.4% vs. 1.2%, p = 0.032) and longer hospital LOS (17.1 vs. 14.0 days, p = 0.032) compared to those who underwent repair within 24 h after a well-balanced 1:1 PSM (N = 166). Linear regression analysis showed a positive correlation between time to bladder repair and hospital LOS for patients who underwent repair after 24 h (B-value = 0.093, p = 0.034). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that bladder repair after 24 h increased the risk of infection (odds = 3.162, p = 0.018). Subset analyses were performed on patients who underwent bladder repairs within 24 h and were used as a control group. These analyses showed that the time to bladder repair did not significantly worsen outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Delayed bladder repair beyond 24 h increases the risk of infection and prolongs hospital stays. Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention remain crucial for minimizing complications in bladder injury patients.

Summary Paper of the Updated 2023 European Association of Urology Guidelines on Urological Trauma. Eur Urol Focus 2023:S2405-4569(23)00196-7. [PMID: 37968186 DOI: 10.1016/j.euf.2023.08.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT The European Association of Urology (EAU) Guidelines Panel for Urological Trauma has produced guidelines in order to assist medical professionals in the management of urological trauma in adults for the past 20 yr. It must be emphasised that clinical guidelines present the best evidence available to the experts, but following guideline recommendations will not necessarily result in the best outcome. Guidelines can never replace clinical expertise when making treatment decisions for individual patients regarding other parameters such as experience and available facilities. Guidelines are not mandates and do not purport to be a legal standard of care. OBJECTIVE To present a summary of the 2023 version of the EAU guidelines on the management of urological trauma. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A systematic literature search was conducted from 1966 to 2022, and articles with the highest certainty evidence were selected. It is important to note that due to its nature, genitourinary trauma literature still relies heavily on expert opinion and retrospective series. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS Databases searched included Medline, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Libraries, covering a time frame between May 1, 2021 and April 29, 2022. A total of 1236 unique records were identified, retrieved, and screened for relevance. CONCLUSIONS The guidelines provide an evidence-based approach for the management of urological trauma. PATIENT SUMMARY Trauma is a serious public health problem with significant social and economic costs. Urological trauma is common; traffic accidents, falls, intrapersonal violence, and iatrogenic injuries are the main causes. Developments in technology, continuous training of medical professionals, and improved care of polytrauma patients reduce morbidity and maximise the opportunity for quick recovery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Transarterial embolization of renal artery branches (RTE) is a minimally invasive procedure commonly performed in life-threatening renal bleeding of different etiologies. Despite the widespread use of RTE, no consensus guidelines are currently available. Our aim was to investigate clinical and technical efficacy and to identify potential predictors for clinical failure of this procedure. METHODS All the RTE procedures performed in our Interventional Radiology unit in last 10 years were retrospectively collected and analyzed. All selected patients underwent both pre-procedural computed tomography angiography (CTA) and post-procedural CTA within 30 days. Clinical success was considered as primary endpoint. Demographic, laboratory, and diagnostic findings predictive of clinical failure of RTE were identified. RESULTS Over a total of 51 patients enrolled, 27 (53%) were females and 33 (64.7%) had a renal bleeding of iatrogenic origin. Technical and clinical success was 100% and 80.4%, respectively. Hematoma volumes > 258.5 cm3 measured at CTA, higher pre- and post-procedural serum creatinine (Scr) levels, an increase in Scr value > 0.135 mg/dl after the procedure, a worse post-procedural estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a post-procedural reduction of eGFR < 3.350 ml/min, and a post-procedural reduction of platelet count (PLT) > 46.50 × 103/mmc showed a significantly higher rate of clinical failure. CONCLUSION RTE is a safe and effective procedure in the management of acute renal bleeding of various origins. Hematoma volume, Scr, PLT, and eGFR values were found to be predictive factors of poor clinical outcome and should be closely monitored.

Korean J Radiol 2023; 24:1017-1027. [PMID: 37724588 PMCID: PMC10550745 DOI: 10.3348/kjr.2023.0149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/21/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The assessment of cortical integrity following renal injuries with planar Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy depends on measuring relatively decreased cortical uptake (i.e., split renal function [SRF]). We analyzed the additive values of the volumetric and quantitative analyses of the residual cortical integrity using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) compared to the planar scintigraphy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 47 patients (male:female, 32:15; age, 47 ± 22 years) who had non-operatively managed renal injuries and underwent DMSA planar and SPECT imaging 3-6 months after the index injury. In addition to planar SRF, SPECT SRF, cortical volume, and absolute cortical uptake were measured for the injured kidney and both kidneys together. The correlations of planar SRF with SPECT SRF and those of SRF with volumetric/quantitative parameters obtained with SPECT were analyzed. The association of SPECT parameters with renal function, grades of renal injuries, and the risk of renal failure was also analyzed. RESULTS SPECT SRF was significantly lower than planar SRF, with particularly higher biases in severe renal injuries. Planar and SPECT SRF (dichotomized with a cutoff of 45%) showed 19%-36% of discrepancies with volumetric and quantitative DMSA indices (when dichotomized as either high or low). Absolute cortical uptake of the injured kidney best correlated with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) at follow-up (ρ = 0.687, P < 0.001) with significant stepwise decreases by GFR strata (90 and 60 mL/min/1.73 m²). Total renal cortical uptake was significantly lower in patients with moderate-to-high risk of renal failure than those with low risk. However, SRF did not reflect GFR decrease below 60 mL/min/1.73 m² or the risk of renal failure, regardless of planar or SPECT (count- or volume-based SRF) imaging. CONCLUSION Quantitative measurements of renal cortical integrity assessed with DMSA SPECT can provide more clinically relevant and comprehensive information than planar imaging or SRF alone.

Chin J Traumatol 2023:S1008-1275(23)00093-7. [PMID: 37838577 DOI: 10.1016/j.cjtee.2023.08.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/16/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Renal trauma constitutes 0.5% - 5% of all trauma patients, and 10% - 20% of abdominal trauma. It is the most commonly injured organ in the genitourinary tract. Road traffic crash (RTC) is the most common cause. In recent years due to the advances in radiological imaging and endovascular techniques, there has been an increase in the nonoperative management of renal trauma. We investigated a large trauma cohort at a level I trauma centre to evaluate patients' demographics with renal trauma, their management, and the outcomes. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of the prospectively collected data of renal trauma patients managed from January 2016 to December 2020. Patients who visited the level I trauma centre in north India with renal trauma were included in this study. Patients who were dead on arrival in the emergency department were excluded. Demographics, mechanism of injury, presence of hemorrhagic shock, associated injuries, complications, length of hospital stay (LOS), discharge, and mortality were recorded. The data were entered in Microsoft Excel 365 and analysed using SPSS version 21. RESULTS This study collected data from 303 renal trauma patients. Males constituted 86.5% of the patients. Most patients were young, aged from 20 - 40 years. Blunt renal trauma was the predominant mode of injury (n = 270, 89.1%). RTCs (n = 190, 62.7%) and falls from height (n = 65, 21.4%) were the 2 most common mechanisms of injury. Focused assessment with sonography in trauma was positive in 68.4% of patients. Grade III (grading by the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma) renal trauma (30.4%) was the most common grade in our study. The liver (n = 104, 34.3%) and splenic trauma (n = 96, 31.7%) were the most commonly associated injuries. Of the 303 patients, 260 (85.8%) were managed nonoperatively. The mean (SD) of the patients' LOS was 12.5 (6.5) days. There were 25 (8.3%) mortalities during the study period and all of them had associated other injuries. The comparison of LOS of isolated renal trauma group and renal trauma with associated injuries group was not statistically significant (p = 0.322). All the patients who died during the study period had renal trauma with associated other organ injuries. None of the patients with isolated renal trauma died during the study. The outcome comparison between both groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.110). CONCLUSION Renal trauma predominantly occurs in young males, especially due to RTCs followed by fall from height. Focused assessment with sonography in trauma is not reliable in detecting renal injuries, other diagnostic tools such as contrast enhanced computed tomography torso should be considered in diagnosing and grading these injuries. Renal trauma usually does not occur in isolation. Majority are associated with other abdominal and extra abdominal injuries. Most of the times these injuries can be managed nonoperatively, which can achieve a low mortality. The patients who required surgery had high mortality as compared to patients who managed nonoperatively. These patients who required surgery had either severe renal or extra renal trauma and were in hemorrhagic shock. Renal trauma from this large cohort may contribute to improving the quality of care for patients with renal trauma by obtaining knowledge about the patient's characteristics, management, and outcomes.

Abstract
Background Traumatic kidney injuries are the most common urinary tract injuries. Pediatric patients are more susceptible to renal injury from blunt trauma than adults because of anatomic factors. The aim of this publication was to provide a reference for traumatic kidney injury in the pediatric group based on the study in our center. Methods A retrospective study was conducted from January 2014 to December 2019 to review medical records of children admitted with renal trauma. Relevant findings including demographics, mechanisms and grades of injury, clinical parameters, interventions, and outcomes were recorded. Results Thirty-three pediatric patients were investigated. Males experienced traumatic kidney injury more often than the females with a ratio of 10:1. Most cases occurred during the adolescent (12-18) years (81.82%). Left-side kidney injury (63.64%) was more frequent than right side (36.36%). Most cases (96.97%) were caused by blunt trauma, mainly traffic accidents (81.82%). Most patients (90.91%) had stable hemodynamics. Grade IV kidney injury was the most frequently found injury (39.39%). The cause of renal function disturbance was based on the blood urea nitrogen/creatinine (BUN/Cr) ratio with 21.87% of patients suffering from intra-renal causes and 12.5% from pre-renal causes. No significant association between different grades and BUN/creatinine ratio was found. Isolated renal injuries were found in 54.54% of patients. Most patients were treated conservatively (87.88%), and survival was 96.97%. Conclusion Non-operative management is safe and yields good outcomes in kidney trauma patients with stable hemodynamics. Renal trauma severity is not associated with the BUN/Cr ratio.

Abstract
Iatrogenic urinary tract injury (IUTI) is a severe complication of emergency digestive surgery. It can lead to increased postoperative morbidity and mortality and have a long-term impact on the quality of life. The reported incidence of IUTIs varies greatly among the studies, ranging from 0.3 to 1.5%. Given the high volume of emergency digestive surgery performed worldwide, there is a need for well-defined and effective strategies to prevent and manage IUTIs. Currently, there is a lack of consensus regarding the prevention, detection, and management of IUTIs in the emergency setting. The present guidelines, promoted by the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES), were developed following a systematic review of the literature and an international expert panel discussion. The primary aim of these WSES guidelines is to provide evidence-based recommendations to support clinicians and surgeons in the prevention, detection, and management of IUTIs during emergency digestive surgery. The following key aspects were considered: (1) effectiveness of preventive interventions for IUTIs during emergency digestive surgery; (2) intra-operative detection of IUTIs and appropriate management strategies; (3) postoperative detection of IUTIs and appropriate management strategies and timing; and (4) effectiveness of antibiotic therapy (including type and duration) in case of IUTIs.

Abstract
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, trauma is the leading cause of fatal injuries for Americans aged 1-44 years old and the fourth leading overall cause of death. Accurate and early diagnosis, including grading of solid organ injuries after blunt abdominal trauma (BAT), is crucial to guide management and improve outcomes. The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) Organ Injury Scale (OIS) is the most widely accepted BAT scoring system at CT both within the United States and internationally, and its uses include stratification of injury severity, thereby guiding management, and facilitation of clinical research, billing, and coding. Furthermore, this system also plays a role in the credentialing process for trauma centers in the United States. The newly revised 2018 OIS provides criteria for grading solid organ damage into three groups: imaging, operation, and pathology. The final grade is based on the highest of the three criteria. If multiple lower-grade (I or II) injuries are present in a single organ, one grade is advanced to grade III. The most substantial change in the revised 2018 AAST-OIS is incorporation of multidetector CT findings of vascular injury, including pseudoaneurysm and arteriovenous fistula. The authors outline the main revised aspects of grading organ injury using the AAST-OIS for the spleen, liver, and kidney after BAT, particularly the role of multidetector CT and alternative imaging in organ injury detection, the importance of vascular injuries in grade change, and the impact of these changes on patient management and in prediction of operative treatment success and in-hospital mortality. ©RSNA, 2023 Supplemental material and the slide presentation from the RSNA Annual Meeting are available for this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Observed variations in the management of pediatric solid organ injuries (SOIs) may be due to difficulty in finding and integrating recommendations from multiple clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) with heterogeneous methodological approaches. We aimed to systematically review CPG recommendations for pediatric SOIs. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of CPGs including at least one recommendation targeting pediatric SOI populations, using Medical Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Excerpta Medica dataBASE, Web of Science, and websites of clinical organizations. Pairs of reviewers independently assessed eligibility, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of CPGs using the Appraisal of Guidelines Research and Evaluation II tool. We synthesized recommendations from moderate to high-quality CPGs using a recommendations matrix based on Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation criteria. RESULTS We identified eight CPGs, including three rated moderate or high quality. Methodological weaknesses included lack of stakeholder involvement beyond surgeons, consideration of applicability (e.g., implementation tools), and clarity around the definition of pediatric populations. Five of the 15 recommendations from moderate to high-quality CPGs were based on moderate quality evidence or were rated as strong; these reflected nonoperative management and angioembolization for renal injuries and required length of stay for liver and spleen injuries. CONCLUSION We identified 15 recommendations on pediatric SOI management from 3 moderate or high-quality CPGs, but only one third were based on at least moderate-quality evidence or were rated as strong. Our results prompt the following recommendations for future CPG development or updates: (1) include all types of clinicians involved in the care of pediatric SOIs and patient and family representatives in the process, (2) develop clear definitions of the target population, and (3) provide advice and tools to promote implementation. Results also underline the urgent need for more rigorous research to support strong evidence-based recommendations in this population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Systematic Review/Meta-analysis; Level III.

J Pediatr Urol 2023; 19:400.e1-400.e5. [PMID: 37156709 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpurol.2023.04.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 04/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Unintentional injury is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in children. There is no consensus on the ideal, discrete management of pediatric renal trauma (PRT). Therefore, management protocols tend to be institution-specific. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to characterize PRT at a rural level-1 trauma center and subsequently develop a standardized protocol. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of PRT at a rural level 1 trauma center between 2009 and 2019 was conducted. Injuries were characterized regarding renal trauma grade, associated multi-organ involvement and the need for intervention. The benefit of patient transfer from regional hospitals and length and cost of stay were evaluated. RESULTS Of 250 patients admitted with renal trauma diagnosis 50 patients <18 years were analyzed. Of those, the majority (32/50, 64%) had low-grade (grade I-III) injuries. Conservative management was successful in all low-grade injuries. Of 18 high-grade PRT, 10 (55.6%) required intervention, one prior to transfer. Among patients with low-grade trauma, 23/32 (72%) were transferred from an outside facility. A total of 13 (26%) patients with isolated low-grade renal trauma were transferred from regional hospitals. All isolated, transferred low-grade renal trauma had diagnostic imaging before transfer and none required invasive intervention. Interventional management of renal injury was associated with a longer median LOS [7 (IQR = 4-16.5) vs 4 (IQR = 2-6) days for conservative management, p = 0.019)] and an increased median total cost of $57,986 vs. $18,042 for conservative management (p = 0.002). DISCUSSION The majority of PRT, particularly low-grade, can be managed conservatively. A significant proportion of children with low-grade trauma are unnecessarily transferred to higher level centers. Review of pediatric renal trauma at our institution over a decade has allowed us to develop an institutional protocol which we believe allows for safe and effective patient monitoring. CONCLUSION Isolated, low-grade PRT can be managed conservatively at regional hospitals without needing transfer to a level 1 trauma center. Children with high-grade injuries should be closely monitored and are more likely to need invasive intervention. Development of a PRT protocol will help to safely triage this population and identify those who may benefit from transfer to a tertiary care center.

Abstract
Study objective To explore the effect of pretreatment with ureteroscopic triage for iatrogenic ureterovaginal fistula (UVF) resulting from radical hysterectomy. Design A retrospective cohort study. Setting Department of gynecology at a tertiary medical center. Patients Women diagnosed with UVF secondary to radical hysterectomy at our center between April 2008 to June 2018. Interventions The patients were divided into two groups according to whether pretreatment with ureteroscopic triage was performed. Those in the non-triage group underwent retrograde placement of a double-J stent immediately following diagnosis as the first-line therapy. Patients in the triage group were first evaluated under ureteroscopy, their ureteral injuries were then classified into different grades and then underwent different treatments as the first-line therapy, including stent placement or reconstruction surgeries. The cure rate of the first-line therapy and the timeliness of the implementation of adjuvant radiotherapy were subsequently analyzed. Measurements and main results Ninety-eight UVF patients were included. The demographics, ECOG status, stage of cervical cancer (FIGO 2009), types and onset time of symptoms were not different between the two groups. There were 54 patients in the nontriage group, with an overall first-line cure rate of 70.4% and a timely implementation rate of adjuvant radiotherapy of 38.5%. There were 44 patients in the evaluation group, with an overall first-line cure rate of 93.2% and a timely implementation rate of adjuvant radiotherapy of 90.0%. The differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion Ureteroscopic triage of ureteral injuries can guide the selection of the optimal first-line therapy for patients with UVF secondary to radical hysterectomy, increase the cure rate and ensure the timely implementation of adjuvant radiotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objective of the present study is to provide a comprehensive review of the literature on associated outcomes of angioembolization in blunt abdominal solid organ traumas. METHODS The databases of Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library were explored until 24 September 2021. All studies with data on the efficacy or safety of angioembolization in patients suffering from hemodynamically unstable blunt abdominal solid organ trauma were included. The primary outcomes were clinical success rate and mortality. Pooled event rates were calculated using a double arcsine transformation to stabilize the variance of the original proportion. RESULTS In total, 13 reports of 12 studies were included in the systematic review. According to the current meta-analysis, the angioembolization for blunt abdominal solid organ trauma in hemodynamically unstable patients had a high clinical success rate [0.97 (95% CI 0.93-0.99)] and low mortality [0.03 (95% CI 0.01-0.07)]. Furthermore, no statistically significant difference was found between the various injured solid organs for either of these parameters. In addition, the technique-associated adverse events were seldom and tolerable. CONCLUSIONS For blunt abdominal solid organ trauma in hemodynamically unstable patients, this review shows that angioembolization exhibited a high clinical success rate, low mortality, and tolerable technique-related adverse events. Furthermore, the top possible indication for angioembolization in hemodynamically unstable patients is an individual who responds to rapid fluid resuscitation. However, high-quality and large-scale trials are needed to confirm these results and determine the selection criteria for appropriate patients in this setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the context of blunt abdominal trauma, injuries to the urinary tracts often occur, especially in polytrauma patients. Urotrauma is rarely immediately life-threatening but can lead to serious complications and chronic functional limitations during treatment. Therefore early urological involvement is crucial for adequate interdisciplinary treatment. METHODS The most important facts for the clinical routine on the consultant urological management of urogenital injuries in blunt abdominal trauma are discussed according to the European "EAU guidelines on Urological Trauma" and the German "S3 guidelines on Polytrauma/Treatment of Severely Injured Patients" as well as the relevant literature. RESULTS Urinary tract injuries can occur even with an initially inconspicuous status and always require explicit exclusion diagnostics by means of contrast medium tomography of the entire urinary tract and, if necessary, by means of urographic and endoscopic examinations. The most common urological intervention is catheterization of the urinary tract which is often required. Less common is urological surgery, which should be coordinated interdisciplinarily with visceral and trauma surgery. More than 90% of vitally threatening kidney injuries (usually up to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grades 4-5) are now treated by interventional radiology. CONCLUSION Due to possible complex injury patterns in blunt abdominal trauma, these patients should ideally be directed to (certified) trauma centers with subspecialized or maximum care from the departments of visceral and vascular surgery, trauma surgery, interventional radiology and urology.

Abstract
Interventional management is commonly used for traumatic injuries to the abdominal solid organs. The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) and the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) recently published guidelines for the management and treatment of liver, spleen, and kidney injuries, emphasizing the importance of interventions. Here, we discuss the characteristics of each organ and the procedure method for each organ that interventional radiologists need to know when treating trauma patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate management trends for American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grade V renal trauma with focus on non-operative management. METHODS We used prospectively collected data as part of the Multi-institutional Genito-Urinary Trauma Study (MiGUTS). We included patients with grade V renal trauma according to the AAST Injury Scoring Scale 2018 update. All cases submitted by participating centers with radiology images available were independently reviewed to confirm renal trauma grade. Management was classified as expectant, conservative (minimally invasive, endoscopic or percutaneous procedures), or operative (renal-related surgery). RESULTS Eighty patients were included, 25 of whom had complete imaging and had independent confirmation of AAST grade V renal trauma. Median age was 35 years (Interquartile range (IQR) 25-50) and 23 (92%) had blunt trauma. Ten patients (40%) were managed operatively with nephrectomy. Conservative management was used in nine patients (36%) of which six received angioembolization and three had a stent or drainage tube placed. Expectant management was followed in six (24%) patients. Transfusion requirements were progressively higher with groups requiring more aggressive treatment, and injury characteristics differed significantly across management groups in terms of hematoma size and laceration size. Vascular contrast extravasation was more likely in operatively managed patients though a statistically significant association was not found. CONCLUSION Successful use of nonoperative management for grade V injuries is used for a substantial subset of patients. Lower transfusion requirement and less severe injury radiologic phenotype appear to be important characteristics delineating this group.

Abstract
Fatal accidents due to blunt force trauma are the leading cause of death in children and adolescents [1]. Abdominal trauma is the third most common cause of death after traumatic brain injury and thoracic injuries [2]. Abdominal injury is seen in approximately 2-5% of children involved in accidents [3]. Blunt abdominal injuries are common sequelae of traffic accidents (for example as seat belt injury), falls, and sports accidents. Penetrating abdominal injuries are rare in central Europe. Spleen, liver, and kidney lacerations are the most common injuries after blunt abdominal trauma [4]. In most situations, nonoperative management (NOM) has become the gold standard with the surgeon leading the multidisciplinary treatment [5].

Abstract
Background Traumatic injuries to renal blood vessels (IRBV) can have significant consequences for patients, impacting their mortality, morbidity, and quality of life. Objective This study aimed to compare trauma types and injury characteristics, vital signs, and outcomes in patients with and without IRBV (nIRBV) and examine whether IRBV and pre-existing renal dysfunction affected the likelihood of in-hospital renal complications (iHRC). Materials and Methods After identifying penetrating and blunt trauma victims with IRBV in the National Trauma Data Bank, patient demographics, injury-related variables, treatment outcomes, and deaths under care were analyzed and compared. Results Of the 994,184 trauma victims, 610 (0.6%) experienced IRBV. Victims in the IRBV group (IRBVG) had a significantly higher frequency of penetrating injuries (19.5% vs. 9.2%, P < 0.001) and higher injury severity score (ISS ≥25, 61.5% vs. 6.7%). Most injuries in both groups were unintentional, although a higher frequency of assault was noted in the IRBVG. The incidence of iHRC was higher in the IRBVG (6.6%) than in the nIRBVG (0.4%; P < 0.001). The IRBV {OR = 3.5 [95% CI = (2.4-5.0)]}, preexisting renal disorders {OR = 2.5 [95% CI = (2.1-2.9)]}, and in-hospital cardiac arrest {OR = 8.6 [95% CI = (7.7-9.5)]} were found to be among the factors associated with a higher risk of iHRC. Conclusions IRBV and pre-existing renal disorders considerably increased the risk of developing iHRC. Due to the long- and short-term consequences of associated cardiovascular, renal, and hemodynamic complications, victims of IRBV require specialized renal management and close monitoring.

[PMID: 36759210 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2022.12.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The appropriate timing of surgical intervention for bladder injuries is not well-defined. The effect of time to surgery on the outcomes of patients with a bladder injury was assessed using data from the Trauma Quality Improvement Program. METHODS Patients with dominant or isolated bladder injuries who underwent surgical repair from 2017 to 2019 were studied. Mortality, infection (surgical site infection or sepsis), acute kidney injury, overall length of stay, and length of stay after surgery were compared between patients who underwent bladder repair within and after 24 hours of arrival at the emergency department. The role of time to surgical repair in the outcomes of patients with a bladder injury was evaluated. RESULTS A total of 1,507 patients with a mean time to bladder repair of 14.0 hours were studied. In total, 233 (15.5%) patients with a bladder injury underwent bladder repair more than 1 day after emergency department arrival. These patients had significantly more infections (5.6% vs 2.5%, P = .011), more acute kidney injuries (7.8% vs 1.8%, P < .001), and a longer length of stay after surgery (16.0 vs 12.3 days, P = .001) than patients who underwent bladder repair within 1 day. A time to bladder repair longer than 24 hours after emergency department arrival did not significantly affect mortality (P = .075) but significantly increased the risk of infection/acute kidney injury (odds = 1.823, P = .040). However, the infection/acute kidney injury risk did not increase with increasing time to surgery in patients who underwent bladder repair within 24 hours (P = .120). CONCLUSION Patients with dominant or isolated bladder injuries may have a poor outcome (ie, increased infection rate, acute kidney injury, longer overall length of stay, and longer length of stay after bladder repair) if they undergo surgical repair more than 24 hours after arrival at the emergency department.

Abstract
Purpose: Renal injury occurs in up to 5% of trauma cases and the kidney is the third most wounded abdominal organ. The study objective was to analyze clinical characteristics of patients with blunt renal trauma and review the treatment of high-grade blunt renal injuries.Methods: The medical charts of trauma patients who visited Haeundae Paik Hospital between March 2010 and February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Data on demographics, injury patterns, clinical presentation, management, and outcomes were analyzed.Results: A total of 68 patients with renal trauma were included in this study. The most common renal injury was Grade III (<i>n</i> = 27, 39.7%). Falling was the predominant mechanism of injury (<i>n</i> = 33, 48.5%), and 23.5% (<i>n</i> = 16) of patients sustained isolated renal trauma. Organ damage related to kidney injury included chest injury (57.4%, <i>n</i> = 39) and abdominal or pelvic content injury (48.5%, <i>n</i> = 33). The overall mortality rate was 2.9% (<i>n</i> = 2). There were 45 cases of high-grade renal trauma (AAST Kidney injury scale Grade Ш-V). There was no statistical difference in the outcomes of high-grade (<i>n</i> = 44, 97.8%) and low-grade (<i>n</i> = 23, 100%) renal trauma patients who received nonoperative treatment (<i>p</i> = 0.511). Variables did not differ significantly, except for the injury severity score which was statistically significantly different between low-grade and high-grade renal trauma patients (<i>p</i> = 0.001).Conclusion: Most patients with traumatic renal injury, even those with high-grade injury, can be managed by nonoperative treatment, and have a good prognosis.

Abstract
Traumatic injuries occur from unintentional and intentional violent events, claiming an estimated 4.4 million lives annually (World Health Organization). Abdominal trauma is a common condition seen in many trauma centers accounting for roughly 15% of all trauma-related hospitalizations (Boutros and colleagues 35) and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Following the concepts of Damage Control Resuscitation can reduce mortality drastically. Ultrasound, computed tomography scans, and routine physical examinations are used to make prompt diagnoses, trend injuries, and recognize deterioration of clinical status. Clear, effective, and closed-loop communication is essential to provide quality care.

Abstract
Ectopic kidney is a relatively uncommon anatomic variation that is usually detected incidentally in patients undergoing imaging for an unrelated reason. Most cases are asymptomatic and are often revealed by a complication; however, ectopic kidney is generally associated with higher risk of traumatic injury, urinary tract infection, renal calculi and other urologic conditions. We report the case of a 65-year-old male patient with a post-traumatic renal laceration on a previously undiagnosed ectopic pelvic kidney, with successful conservative treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The kidney is the most frequently injured component of the genitourinary system, accounting for 5% of all trauma cases. Several guidelines by different societies address the management of urological trauma. However, unanswered questions remain regarding optimal use of angioembolization in hemodynamically stable patients, indications for operative exploration of stable retroperitoneal hematomas and renal salvage techniques in the setting of hemodynamic instability, and imaging practices for patients undergoing non-operative management. We performed a systematic review, meta-analysis, and developed evidence-based recommendations to answer these questions in both blunt and penetrating renal trauma. METHODS The working group formulated four population, intervention, comparator, outcome (PICO) questions regarding the following topics: (1) angioembolization (AE) usage in hemodynamically stable patients with evidence of ongoing bleeding; (2) surgical approach to stable zone II hematomas (exploration vs. no exploration) in hemodynamically unstable patients and (3) surgical technique (nephrectomy vs. kidney preservation) for expanding zone II hematomas in hemodynamically unstable patients; (4) frequency of repeat imaging (routine or symptom based) in high-grade traumatic renal injuries. A systematic review and meta-analysis of currently available evidence was performed. RevMan 5 (Cochran Collaboration) and GRADEpro (Grade Working Group) software were used. Recommendations were voted on by working group members and concurrence was obtained for each final recommendation. RESULTS A total of 20 articles were identified and analyzed. Two prospective studies were encountered; the majority were retrospective, single-institution studies. Not all outcomes projected by PICO questions were reported in all studies. Meta-analysis was performed for all PICO questions except PICO 3 secondary to the discrepant patient populations included in those studies. PICO 1 had the greatest number of articles included in the meta-analysis with nine studies; yet, due to differences in study design, no critical outcomes emerged; similar differences among a smaller set of articles prevented observation of critical outcomes for PICO 4. Analyses of PICOs 2 and 3 favored a non-invasive or minimally invasive approach in-line with current international practice trends. CONCLUSION In hemodynamically stable adult patients with clinical or radiographic evidence of ongoing bleeding, no recommendation could be made regarding the role of AE vs. observation. In hemodynamically unstable adult patients, we conditionally recommend no renal exploration vs. renal exploration in stable zone II hematomas. In hemodynamically unstable adult patients, we conditionally recommend kidney preserving techniques vs. nephrectomy in expanding zone II hematomas. No recommendation could be made for the optimal timing of repeat imaging in high grade renal injury. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Guideline; systematic review, level III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In contrast to adults, the situation for pediatric trauma care from an international point of view and the global management of severely injured children remain rather unclear. The current study investigates structural management of pediatric trauma in centers of different trauma levels as well as experiences with pediatric trauma management around the world. METHODS A web-survey had been distributed to the global mailing list of the World Society of Emergency Surgery from 10/2021-03/2022, investigating characteristics of respondents and affiliated hospitals, case-load of pediatric trauma patients, capacities and infrastructure for critical care in children, trauma team composition, clinical work-up and individual experiences with pediatric trauma management in response to patients´ age. The collaboration group was subdivided regarding sizes of affiliated hospitals to allow comparisons concerning hospital volumes. Comparable results were conducted to statistical analysis. RESULTS A total of 133 participants from 34 countries, i.e. 5 continents responded to the survey. They were most commonly affiliated with larger hospitals (> 500 beds in 72.9%) and with level I or II trauma centers (82.0%), respectively. 74.4% of hospitals offer unrestricted pediatric medical care, but only 63.2% and 42.9% of the participants had sufficient experiences with trauma care in children ≤ 10 and ≤ 5 years of age (p = 0.0014). This situation is aggravated in participants from smaller hospitals (p < 0.01). With regard to hospital size (≤ 500 versus > 500 in-hospital beds), larger hospitals were more likely affiliated with advanced trauma centers, more elaborated pediatric intensive care infrastructure (p < 0.0001), treated children at all ages more frequently (p = 0.0938) and have higher case-loads of severely injured children < 12 years of age (p = 0.0009). Therefore, the majority of larger hospitals reserve either pediatric surgery departments or board-certified pediatric surgeons (p < 0.0001) and in-hospital trauma management is conducted more multi-disciplinarily. However, the majority of respondents does not feel prepared for treatment of severe pediatric trauma and call for special educational and practical training courses (overall: 80.2% and 64.3%, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Multi-professional management of pediatric trauma and individual experiences with severely injured children depend on volumes, level of trauma centers and infrastructure of the hospital. However, respondents from hospitals at all levels of trauma care complain about an alarming lack of knowledge on pediatric trauma management.

Abstract
Background A 19-year-old male requiring emergency surgery after presenting to the emergency department (ED) as a trauma activation status post-motor vehicle collision. Summary. The patient presented to the ED after a motor vehicle collision. He was taken emergently to the operating room after finding hemoperitoneum on computerized tomography scan without evidence of solid organ injury. Significant small and large bowel injuries were discovered requiring resection and anastomosis. The patient had an uneventful post-operative recovery and was discharged home. He was later re-admitted to the hospital with a large pelvic abscess and a left mid-ureteral stricture causing hydronephrosis. The abscess was treated with antibiotics, and the left ureteral injury was treated with a nephrostomy tube and stent placement. He made a full recovery after hospital re-admission and a delay in diagnosis of blunt ureteral injury. Conclusion Patients involved in motor vehicle collisions are at risk of multi-system trauma including genito-urinary injuries. A small percentage of these patients may present with blunt ureteral injuries. A high index of suspicion is required to make an early diagnosis. Earlier diagnosis may help to prevent morbidity.

Abstract
Renal papillary necrosis (RPN) is characterized by coagulative necrosis of the renal medullary pyramids and papillae. Multiple conditions and toxins are associated with RPN. Several RPN risk factors, or POSTCARDS, have been identified, with most patients presenting with RPN having at least two contributing risk factors. Currently, there is no specific test to diagnose and confirm RPN; however, several imaging tools can be used to diagnose the condition. RPN is currently underdiagnosed in African populations, often with fatal outcomes. In African clinical settings, there is a lack of consensus on how to define and describe RPN in terms of kidney anatomy, pathology, endourology, epidemiology, the identification of African-specific risk factors, the contribution of oxidative stress, and lastly an algorithm for managing the condition. Several risk factors are unique to African populations including population-specific genetic factors, iatrogenic factors, viral infections, antimicrobial therapy, schistosomiasis, substance abuse, and hypertension (GIVASSH). Oxidative stress is central to both GIVASSH and POSTCARDS-associated risk factors. In this review, we present information specific to African populations that can be used to establish an updated consensual definition and practical grading system for radiologists, urologists, nephrologists, nuclear physicians, and pathologists in African clinical settings.

MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2022; 58:medicina58111583. [PMID: 36363539 PMCID: PMC9695250 DOI: 10.3390/medicina58111583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2022] [Revised: 10/28/2022] [Accepted: 10/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: Although urogenital injuries are common in severely injured patients, their diagnosis is often delayed. Predicting genitourinary injuries (GUI), especially in the immediate stages post injury, remains a challenge. This study aims to evaluate and determine positive predictive factors for the presence of GUI in polytrauma patients. Subsequently, these factors shall be used to develop an easy-to-use scoring system, deployable directly in the emergency setting. Materials and Methods: This study evaluates all severely injured patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16 admitted to the emergency departments of two German university hospitals between 2016 and 2020. These patients were retrospectively scanned for injuries of the thoracic and/or lumbar spine and/or the pelvic girdle. Demographic data was analyzed alongside trauma mechanism, type of injuries, mortality, length of hospital stays, surgeries, laboratory results, and urological treatment. Subgroup analysis was performed to compare patients with and without GUIs using t-tests. Conducting a binary logistic regression model, the significant factors were combined to create a scoring system, which was further analyzed for accuracy. Results: In total, 413 patients with an average ISS of 33.8 ± 15.0 were identified, and 47 patients (11.4%) sustained urogenital injuries with an average Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) score of 2.3 ± 1.1 (range: 1−5). The severity of the pelvic girdle injury correlated with the presence of urogenital injuries (p = 0.002), while there was no correlation with spinal injuries. Moreover, most GUIs resulted from motorcycle accidents (p < 0.001) and 87.2% of these patients were male. Patients with GUI were significantly more likely to show macrohematuria (p < 0.001) on admission and were more severely injured overall (ISS > 34). There was no significant difference in the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, the days until discharge, or death rates. Conclusions: Factors or circumstances which reliably predict the presence of GUI were found to include the male sex, a motorcycle accident, high severity of pelvic girdle fractures, macrohematuria on admission to the emergency department, and an ISS > 34. With these findings, we introduce the ‘Urotrauma in Polytrauma patients with Pelvic and/or Spinal injuries’ (UPPS) score for easier prediction of GUI in the emergency setting.

Abstract
The philosophy of abdominal injury management is currently changing from mandatory exploration to selective non-operative management (NOM). The patient with hemodynamic stability and absence of peritonitis should be managed non-operatively. NOM has an overall success rate of 80%-90%. It also can reduce the rate of non-therapeutic abdominal exploration, preserve organ function, and has been defined as the safest choice in experienced centers. However, NOM carries a risk of missed injury such as hollow organ injury, diaphragm injury, and delayed hemorrhage. Adjunct therapies such as angiography with embolization, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with stenting, and percutaneous drainage could increase the chances of successful NOM. This article aims to describe the evolution of NOM and define its place in specific abdominal solid organ injury for the practitioner who faces this problem.

Abstract
There are many reasons for solitary kidney. Congenital causes include renal agenesis and dysplasia. Acquired causes include nephrectomy performed for reasons including traumatic kidney injury, disease (e.g., renal cell carcinoma), and donation for kidney transplantation. According to the European Association of Urology, the World Society of Emergency Surgery, and the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma guidelines, it is important to preserve the remaining renal function as much as possible when a solitary kidney patient has suffered a traumatic kidney injury. The authors present a case of kidney preservation in a solitary kidney patient with a traumatic grade IV renal injury through non-operative management involving superselective renal artery angioembolization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe rates of urology consultation following renal trauma and assess subsequent impact on imaging and intervention. Renal trauma may be initially managed by either trauma or urologic surgeons alone or collaboratively. Differences in management between the specialties are not well studied. METHODS We conducted an IRB-approved retrospective review of patients at a Level I trauma center sustaining renal trauma between 2014 and 2021. Demographic, injury, radiologic, and intervention variables were extracted. Frequencies and medians were compared using chi-squared and Fischer's exact tests or Mann-Whitney U tests, respectively. Analyses were performed using STATA with p<0.05 considered significant. RESULTS From 2014 to 2021, 118 patients with median age 29 (IQR 22-41) sustained renal trauma. Urology was consulted in 18 (15.3%) cases. Demographic and injury characteristics were similar between the two groups. AAST renal injury grade was transcribed in the initial radiologic reports for 49 (41.5%) of patients. Those in the urology consult group were more likely to receive delayed contrast imaging during their admission (50.0% vs. 17.0%, p<0.01). Among those with high-grade injuries, those with urology consult were less likely to undergo nephrectomy (36.4% vs. 78.8%, p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS We observed differences in imaging patterns between renal trauma patients who are managed primarily by trauma surgery versus urology. However, the impact of these differences in imaging remains to be elucidated. Among patients with high-grade renal trauma, urology consult was associated with decreased rate of nephrectomy, emphasizing the feasibility of renal salvage in a multidisciplinary trauma setting.

Abstract
Introduction: Urinary tract injuries are common in the context of pelvic surgery; however, there is little information in the medical literature on the management of these injuries using a laparoscopic approach. The following is the clinical case of a patient with intraperitoneal bladder injury secondary to gynecological pelvic surgery that was successfully treated using a laparoscopic approach. Moreover, a management algorithm is proposed based on the scientific data available.
Case report. A 39-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with generalized abdominal pain and anuria three days after undergoing a left laparoscopic salpingectomy and resection of a migrated intrauterine device. Laboratory tests showed microhematuria, serum creatinine of 4.35mg/dL, and urea nitrogen of 35.2mg/dL. Computed tomography cystography showed a solution of continuity on the left posterolateral intraperitoneal bladder. The patient underwent successful laparoscopic treatment for the bladder injury, and two weeks later, retrograde cystography confirmed its adequate resolution.
Conclusions. Based on the benefits of the laparoscopic approach and after extrapolating the outcomes of the laparoscopic management of bladder trauma, it can be concluded that the laparoscopic approach to surgical injuries of the bladder is a feasible therapeutic option.

Experiences of a high-volume urological trauma centre. World J Emerg Surg 2022; 17:38. [PMID: 35799209 PMCID: PMC9264658 DOI: 10.1186/s13017-022-00445-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Current guidelines recommend repeat computed tomography (CT) imaging in high-grade blunt renal injury within 48–96 h, yet diagnostic value and clinical significance remain controversial. The aim of this work was to determine the possible gain of CT re-imaging in uncomplicated patients with blunt renal trauma at 48 h after injury, presenting one of the largest case series. Methods A retrospective database of patients admitted to our centre with isolated blunt renal trauma due to sporting injuries was analysed for a period of 20 years (2000–2020). We included only patients who underwent repeat imaging at 48 h after trauma irrespective of AAST renal injury grading (grade 1–5) and initial management. The primary outcome was intervention rates after CT imaging at 48 h in uncomplicated patients versus CT scan at the time of clinical symptoms. Results A total of 280 patients (mean age: 37.8 years; 244 (87.1%) male) with repeat CT after 48 h were included. 150 (53.6%) patients were classified as low-grade (grade 1–3) and 130 (46.4%) as high-grade (grade 4–5) trauma. Immediate intervention at trauma was necessary in 59 (21.1%) patients with high-grade injuries: minimally invasive therapy in 48 (81.4%) and open surgery in 11 (18.6%) patients, respectively. In only 16 (5.7%) cases, intervention was performed based on CT re-imaging at 48 h (low-grade vs. high-grade: 3.3% vs. 8.5%; p = 0.075). On the contrary, intervention rate due to clinical symptoms was 12.5% (n = 35). Onset of clinical progress was on average (range) 5.3 (1–17) days post trauma. High-grade trauma (odds ratio [OR]grade 4 vs. grade 3, 14.62; p < 0.001; ORgrade 5 vs. grade 3, 22.88, p = 0.004) and intervention performed at the day of trauma (OR 3.22; p = 0.014) were powerful predictors of occurrence of clinical progress. Conclusion Our data suggest that routine CT imaging 48 h post trauma can be safely omitted for patients with low- and high-grade blunt renal injury as long as they remain clinically stable. Patients with high-grade renal injury have the highest risk for clinical progress; thus, close surveillance should be considered especially in this group.

Abstract
PURPOSE The impact of transarterial embolization (TAE) and nephrectomy on acute kidney injury (AKI) in blunt renal trauma patients remains unclear, and we used the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) to investigate this issue. METHODS Adult patients from the NTDB between 2007 and 2015 who survived traumatic events with blunt injuries were eligible for inclusion. The exclusion criteria were those without outcome information, who required dialysis, or with chronic renal failure prior to the traumatic injury. Patients sustaining hepatic, splenic, or pelvic fractures or who had bilateral nephrectomy were also excluded. The patients were divided into three treatment groups, including conservative treatment, TAE, and nephrectomy. Two statistical models, logistic regression (LR) and inverse probability treatment weighting (IPTW), were used to clarify the AKI predictors. RESULTS The study included 10,096 patients. There were 9697 (96.0%), 202 (2.0%) and 197 (2.0%) patients in the conservative, TAE and nephrectomy groups, respectively. Nephrectomy was a statistically significant predictor of AKI in blunt renal trauma patients in the standard LR (odds ratio [OR], 4.58; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.92-10.38; p < 0.001) and IPTW (OR, 5.16; 95% CI 1.07-24.85; p = 0.023) models. In addition, TAE was not a risk factor for AKI in blunt renal trauma patients (p > 0.05 in all models). CONCLUSION AKI is less likely affect patients with blunt renal trauma with TAE than those with nephrectomy. Nephrectomy is a risk factor for AKI in blunt renal trauma patients. TAE should be considered first when blunt renal trauma patients need a hemostatic procedure.

Abstract
PURPOSE While interventional radiologists occupy a critical role in adult trauma management, the role of interventionalist in pediatric trauma continues to evolve. The indications for transarterial embolization (TAE) are significantly different in pediatric patients in whom non-operative management (NOM) has a much more prominent role than in adults. Contrast extravasation on imaging may not require acute surgical or interventional management as it would in an adult. There are also areas in which pediatric interventional radiology is increasingly useful such as pelvic TAE in failed management, or splenic embolization to treat bleeding without the loss of splenic function inherent to surgical splenectomy. The rapid evolution of techniques and devices in pediatric patients is also changing what interventions are possible in pediatric trauma management which necessitates frequent reassessment of the guidelines and interventional radiology's role in caring for these patients. CONCLUSION This review seeks to consolidate the recent literature to describe the evolving role of the interventional radiologist in pediatric trauma management.

Abstract
Background Arterial hypotension is common in patients during surgery and those admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) postoperatively. Perioperative arterial hypotension reportedly significantly affects surgical patients’ outcomes. Blood pressure level is the most crucial factor that influences organ perfusion. Hypoperfusion and organ dysfunction are correlated based on their severity associated with hypotension. As several factors can cause intraoperative hypotension, anesthetists must promptly identify the etiology for appropriate treatment and revert the patient’s hemodynamic profile. Objectives This review discusses the concept of perioperative hypotension, identifies its effects in clinical situations, and provides remedies and techniques to predict and avoid its significant consequences. Conclusions The primary determinant of organ perfusion is blood pressure. On the other hand, profound hypotension is common in surgical patients and is connected to hypoperfusion and organ failure. Currently, hypotension is addressed once low blood pressure levels are recorded. Early detection of oncoming hypotension or its clinical prediction is of paramount importance in allowing the clinician to treat hypotension and reduce the incidence and length of hypotensive episodes promptly and aggressively.
