Abstract

Retrospective analysis of treatment results of 608 patients with trauma of organs of urogenital system (UGS) was carried out. Beating was the cause of trauma in 55% cases, fall from height--in 17%, transport trauma--in 14.3%, knife wound--in 4.4%, gunshort wound--in 1.3%. Isolated trauma of UGS was in 481 (79.1%) patients. In other patients combined injury of UGS with injury of skeleton's bones (53), cranium and brain (25), abdominal organs (20) was diagnosed. In 29 patients severe combined trauma of UGS, abdominal organs, skeleton bones and cranium was seen. Surgeries were performed in 267 patients. Surgeries on kidney and urinary bladder due to their disruption predominated. In 44 patients these surgeries were combined with ones on abdominal organs. Surgery was performed in two stages in 25 patients with combined trauma of UGS and other organs. From 608 patients 552 (90.2%) cured. Lethal outcome was in 56 (9.2%) patients due to progressive traumatic shock.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a cohort study, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 608 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
