Abstract
During 18 months of war in Croatia, our hospital took care of 4,425 wounded. There were 142 urogenital wounds, 64 (55.65%) of which were renal injuries. Sixteen (25%) of them were caused by missiles and 48 (75%) by explosive devices. Renal injuries were associated with abdominal injuries in 61 cases (95.31%) and in 9 cases (15.72%) with injuries to other urogenital organs. Diagnosis was mostly set during abdominal exploration. Nephrectomy was performed in a quarter of cases and conservative procedures (exploration only, renography and kidney resection) were applied in 68 (75%) cases.
