[Kidney injury in hydronephrosis in children].

Within the 10 years' period, from 1968 to 1977, 8 children were renal trauma in hydronephrosis were operated upon in the Children's Surgery Clinic in LPMI. 7 patients underwent nephrectomy and one--the plasty of the pyeloureteral segment. The surgical intervention carried out immediately after trauma prevents the occurrence of complications and, sometimes, helps to preserve the kidney. The immediate and late results of the surgical treatment are good, which proves the necessity of an urgent examination and active surgical tactics in case of injury to the kidney in hydronephrosis in children.
