XXXX mesh in experimental renal trauma.

@entity1 @entity6987 @entity8 @entity101 @entity548 @entity235 @entity793 @entity6886 @entity281 @entity1011 @entity526
We investigated the efficacy of kidney wrapping with @entity6886 ( @entity6987 ) mesh for control of @entity548 and preservation of renal function following extensive @entity8 in the @entity235 . Wrapping of lacerated kidneys resulted in reapposition of the renal parenchyma and prompt, sustained hemostasis. At 21 days following injury the @entity8 were well healed. Among five @entity235 with lacerations involving the entire surface of one kidney, the mean of the ratios of the @entity1011 clearance of the affected kidney divided by the @entity1011 clearance of the uninjured contralateral kidney was 0.83 +/- 0.14. Among ten @entity235 with lacerations confined to the lower pole of one kidney, five were treated by mesh wrapping and five by partial nephrectomy. The mean of the ratios of the @entity1011 clearance of the affected kidney divided by the @entity1011 clearance of the uninjured contralateral kidney was 0.93 +/- 0.17 for the former group and 0.58 +/- 0.06 for the latter group. @entity281 following kidney wrapping developed in only one @entity235 who had an @entity526 @entity793 at the time of injury. Blood pressure was monitored in eight @entity235 treated with mesh wrapping. None became @entity101 . These data suggest that @entity6987 mesh may have clinical utility in the management of selected renal injuries in @entity1 .
