title: [Clinical approach to renal trauma].
abstract: Management of kidney injuries is an uncommon challenge to urologists. Therapy has evolved in recent years from mainly surgical to predominantly conservative treatment. Immediate surgical intervention for renal trauma is now only necessary in rare instances. This overview is based on the guidelines of the European Association of Urology and the Societé International d'Urologie as well as clinical experience and is intended to provide practical advice for treatment of renal trauma.
