All patients were evaluated with excretory urography and isotope renography. The renal scan clearly demonstrated failure of perfusion of the lower renal pole and urinary extravasation, and was believed to be more valuable than the standard excretory urogram as a diagnostic tool. All children were managed similarly: delayed (72 to 96 hours) exploration, simple removal of the amputated segment and insertion of a Penrose drain. They all have done well. The patients were normotensive at followup and had excellent function of the remaining portion of the kidney. © 1985 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited byHenderson C, Sedberry-Ross S, Pickard R, Bulas D, Duffy B, Tsung D, Eichelberger M, Belman A and Rushton H (2018) Management of High Grade Renal Trauma: 20-Year Experience at a Pediatric Level I Trauma CenterJournal of Urology, VOL. 178, NO. 1, (246-250), Online publication date: 1-Jul-2007.Related articlesJournal of Urology12 Nov 2018Re: Traumatic Amputation of the Left Lower Renal Pole in Children, by J.
