Successful timely minimally invasive management of grade 4 renal injury in children: a report of two cases

Expectant management of renal injuries has become the standard of care but most of such experience has been with adult patients. Although some recent reports suggest equally comparable results in pediatric populations too, there is a paucity of data. We report our experience with two children who sustained grade 4 renal injury due to blunt trauma, which was managed successfully by endourological intervention facilitating preservation of renal units and review the current literature.
