[Conservative treatment in major kidney trauma].
The kidney is frequently involved in penetrating abdominal injuries, and less so in closed abdominal traumatism. This paper presents one case of major renal trauma with total renal fracture and development of urinoma that separated both segments that, after a minimally invasive manoeuvre (percutaneous drainage), evolved favourably thus avoiding a surgical procedure which, quite reasonably, would have led to nephrectomy.
