Özet
Repair of major kidney lacerations with conventional techniques is extremely difficult and 'through and through' suturing is associated with further loss of viable tissue because it promotes scarring. In this study, we investigate the haemostatic and viable parenchyma salvaging effect of an alternative, new wrapping technique in an experimental renal trauma model. This resulted in immediate haemostasis in all 25 animals, while the same injury caused excessive haemorrhage with 50 per cent mortality in eight untreated controls.
