Scientific Meetings of Doctors of the State Institute for Advanced Medical Training in Kazan. Vol. 23, No. 1 (1927)

Meeting 85th 25/X 1926.
Dr. I. L. Tsimhes demonstrated a case of complete rupture of the kidney. A patient, 16 years old, was brought to the Surgical Clinic of the Institute for bruise of the right lumbar region on a rib of a box in a fall from a height. Due to the increasing internal bleeding, gematuria and the phenomena of progressive cardiac decline, he underwent surgery to remove the right kidney. The removed kidney consisted of two separate parts, one of which lay free in the abdominal cavity among blood clots, and the other (upper) part was deep in the peri-renal hematoma. The rupture line was transverse and irregular. Prof. S. S. Zimnitsky, R. A. Luria and V. L. Bogolyubov participated in the debate and noted the role of the constitution in this case (the patient is an asthenic).
