| Sumario: | INTRODUCTION: The renal trauma is present in a 5% of all trauma cases. In the most common causes, conservative treatment can be performed. It is reported a case of renal trauma due to metal sick that required surgical management. It is considered that this is a rare clinical case with urgent surgical management that is not usual in this type of trauma. In addition, it is an example of quick decision-making since the patient's life depends on them. CASE REPORT: A 69-year-old man was referred to our institution for polytrauma. In contrast-enhanced computed tomography, renal, intestinal and great vessel were suspected, so an urgent surgical treatment was decided. During surgery, radical nephrectomy was performed due to perforation of the right kidney by a metal stick. CONCLUSIONS: Although conservative treatment of renal trauma can be performed in most cases, it must be taken into account that radical nephrectomy is a possible option when the kidney cannot be preserved. |
