title: [Organ preservation in contusion of the kidneys (author's transl)].
abstract: The majority of our cases (n = 107) were contusions of the kidneys, they were treated conservatively. If a rupture is to be expected the diagnostic measures should include infusion-urogram and selective arteriography. If a rupture has been proved, the early operation should follow immediately in order to preserve the organ. Treating ruptures of the kidneys conservatively should be an exception.
