RESUMO
In 1987 and 1999, fifty five children were treated with a renal injury after blunt abdominal trauma at the Department of Pediatric Surgery of Vilnius University Children Hospital. There were 40 boys and 15 girls. Using a G.S. Nicolaisen and J.W. McAninch (1985) classification of injury staging, 23 (41.8%) patients were ascertained as having type I, 16 (29.1%) - type II, 15 (27.3%) - type III, 1 (1.8%) - type IV. Conservative methods were used for treatment in 91% children and 4 (7.3%) had indication for operative treatment: 2 of these children underwent nephrectomy, in 2 cases kidneys were sutured.
