title: [Retroperitoneal vascular injuries (author's transl)].
abstract: From 1973-1977, 21 retroperitoneal vascular injuries were seen at the Medical School of Hannover. Vascular lesions of polytraumatized patients were treated 12 times. The rest were iatrogenic traumas after laminectomy, herniotomy, and hip replacement as well as after urologic and gynecologic operations. The overall mortality was 43%. Surgical treatment of the different vascular regions is discussed.
