Abstract

From 1974 to 1993, the authors admitted 212 patients with renal trauma to their department. A large proportion of these cases were due to skiing accidents. Based on a retrospective study of 78 patients admitted to the Grenoble urology department, the authors describe the features of this trauma. 91% of patients were males with a mean age of 27.5 years, with 9% of type III trauma. Treatment was surgical in 55% of cases. Total nephrectomy was performed in 21% of patients. Partial nephrectomy was performed in 25.5% of cases, with a morbidity of 45%, predominantly consisting of fistulas.
